I Go To Work; I Come Back Home – I’m thankful

May 4, 2015 /

 

Seven days have passed since I wrote on my blog- that is nothing to be thankful – I want to write more  – I do, I really do, but my intentions and potential to do so are squelched with doubt, being tired, and lack of inspiration.  The thing is, the truth about my writing is, all I have to do is write… one word the first one, from there I add another, and soon I have a sentence, then a paragraph, then a post.  
 
That is the truth about my writing – sure, I have ideas and brainstorm what I am going to write about, yet once I start it takes a life of its own. I think that is the coolest thing ever –  it is the same with cooking, painting, crafting, crocheting or knitting,  the imagined object is so different from the physical object. 
 
It is in my opinion much better. Don’t you think? Maybe it’s because I am connected to what I created, or perhaps for a small time I put aside the outside elements; the dishes,  the kids,  the spouse,  and quietly stop for a moment to express a creativity that I need to express.
 
The thing is, it takes a long time to get there – I am distracted, I am tired most nights when I come home from work, that little knowledge of how easy it is to create once I show up, is forgotten.
 
Last week’s thankfuls conveyed how thankful I was for ordinary days – those days continued this past week:
 
Here are some of the things that I thought of during the week….

I wake up
Rise to the sun
I go to work
And I come back home
I wake up
Rise to the sun
I go to work
And I come back home

Thankful three-five years ago on May 1st, we came home with our children for the first time, and forever.
 
Thankful four – we celebrated with our “new year brunch”, on Friday night I made Eggs Benedict, French toast, and Tater tots home fries.
 
Thankful five – we are finally having very nice weather– I am walking at lunch again.
 
Thankful Six – Hubby is cleaning out the pool –aka Bob, as I write.  YAY!
 
Thankful Seven –   my sister Silvana can breathe easy …the coyote in Queens NY a mere 40-minute ride away, was caught – whew!
 
Thankful eight – I am about to start one of these books….

Delicious– A Novel
I cannot wait; lately whatever I am reading I lose interest quickly, then I can’t finish the book.  I hope that these books will bring back my joy to read again.
 
Thankful Nine – last night at 9:00 pm I sat down on the couch and was channel surfing to see what I can watch –I settled on Parenthood – the movie – I let out a sigh and said yup this is my life now, ready to fall asleep on the couch bored, when did this happen. I need some adventure, leave my comfort zone…then the phone rang. It was my sister inviting us to come watch boxing, over at her house.
 
A quick 10 minutes to get the kids to stop what they were doing, comb the hair, change the shirt, put on some lip gloss and stop to bring dessert, and we were on our way; we stayed out until 1 am and had fun… yeepee!
 
Thankful Ten – I did not watch the fight, but I did have a fun time with Silvana.
 
Those feet starting from the top –counter-clockwise are:
My Sister in white
Amelia in blue
Me in black 
We were showing off our converse-
Harry also joined in the fun!
Happy Sunday – have a wonderful week!
