Our theme this year, CHAOS TO CONTENTMENT!!! I don't know about anyone else, but I have lost my way lately. No drive, no ambition, no love of what I'm doing. I "think" it has to do with being in a constant state of OVERWHELM! I have not managed time well and wind up with crunch projects -which are never fun. I've packed my list of "want to accomplish this month" so full that when surprises pop up that are either fun or an emotional wipeout - there is no chance of completion and then a sense of failure sets in. Ugh. After much thought on this and a great deal of chatting with the lady in the mirror - I've come up with this theme for 2025. If you didn't get a chance to check out the post explaining it all --- here is the LINK to the initial post. I'm looking forward to the direction this can take us all, but especially myself, if I give it a fair shot. Sometimes stepping out of comfort zones is challenging, but it almost always allows for growth. Well, with August comes: We are into the eighth month of attempting to drive chaos out and allow contentment into our individual worlds. How is it going? I am happy to say that I have peaked and am on the downside again, working my way towards calm and happiness. I even have a renewed interest in sewing again. I'm planning trips with enthusiasm and excitement and looking up for a change. The chaos is no longer a part of my identity and I'm ready - oh so ready - for what is ahead. Hugs to all.
