I used to enjoy blogging and would plan an entry every day. I am considering re-entering the blogging world. I do miss this form of journaling. Currently, I am involved with some writing projects. I may have to postpone blogging until those projects are completed.Elisabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17290840375668987380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539421530417771983.post-48866362967443009202019-01-09T11:43:00.000-05:002019-01-09T11:47:35.277-05:00Feeling Good!Looking forward to blogging again. Years ago I wrote every day and posted often. I would so like to start that practice again.
So.....here we go. I think hobbies using one's hands and brain fulfilling. Back in 1972, I worked on a cross stitch sampler using a quote I thought up. Investigation has not shown that quote being used before 1972. Yahooooo!!!

This morning I gathered representations of the four elements (earth, air/wind, fire and water) for inspiration. I am so excited. A new year; a new me. For the first time in my life I am free—free to do anything I want. This is going to be super fun. I can hardly wait to see what happens next.

Yay!!!! I am moving into uncharted waters and am excited about this new adventure. Most, hopefully all, of the negatives are gone from my life and I am free--free to move on unencumbered.

The dream I had years ago never came to fruition. It didn't happen. Instead, I had a fabulous time enjoying the hobby of photography.

My, my--ages have past since I last wrote in this blog. So I decided to run a test to see if I could still put together a post. Hmmmm...interesting. I have to do all posting using a pc. I do not know how to post using a tablet or phone. I need to learn how to do this in my spare time.

He has faced serious, dangerous surgeries before and here we go again. Moments of raw terror and times of sublime calm alternate in both of us. Bob is tough and full of surprises.

This will be my first big adventure (all by myself) and is a little bit scary. Oh well, a person has to start somewhere at some time, right? I am taking along some ideas for the book.

I wonder where everyone is. Is anyone out there?
Since the coma, the road back to feeling like the "self" I remember is rough. Hopefully, I will be able to get there from here.

What to do? Not just what does a person want to do, but what CAN one do? Big difference between those two things! Dreaming is easy. Reality...not so simple.
