I haven't written anything in a while because I am feeling quite empty. Not really a bad empty, just a 'where do you want to go now' empty. I am ready to embrace new ideas and new catalysts to move on with my life.

I have been mulling over setting some creative goals. I haven't expressed myself creatively in years, and I would like to get back into it. Thinking creatively is like thinking forward, and for me, prevents getting stuck in negativity. I really need a good dose of thinking forward to combat all the loss that has been consuming me.

My new camera will arrive either Monday or Tuesday. I still need to buy a flash card before I can use it, but as long as I can read the directions I should be good to go......

Help me out bloggers: If you could add a new activity, a new skill, a new goal, or form of entertainment to your life, what would that be?

I enjoy your writing. Reminds me of me. You are not alone, that's for sure. I recently got into star gazing with a telescope and stuff. I see a star, then get out the charts, and can't find it. Oh well, maybe some day I will learn how to chart the stars. Something put thise stars up there. All I know so far it wasn't me. Hang in...

Thank you for your sweet comment in my blog! I really appreciate it.

I've gotten into photography, as it sounds like you have too. I've also taken an interest in nature, taking trips to the park to see the plants and take pictures of them. Something about being close to nature helps me to feel closer to my higher power. Just walking down a wilderness trail can be a spiritual experience for me :)

I immerse myself into service or volunteer work. Helping others, instead of myself. The results are amazing.

I love keeping an opened mind and a list at the back of it of things I would like to do in life :)

I recently became a member of a
non profit society that works at
suppporting families with addiction issues as well as promoting health and education on this topic.
This is an area close to my heart.

I am back in school now , taking a Basic Counselling course.Future career ? Dunno yet?

The best thing I have learned is to remind myself of my various intersts and taking steps towards them when I can.

Most importantly for me,
I embrace my imagination in all aspects of life, otherwise I get
super cranky and bored...LOL!

Keep us posted on your new discoveries..how is the dancing?

Thanks for sharing ~

Thank you all for stopping by and sharing what brings passion to your life. I really miss being creative and I am going to make a conscience effort to bring that back into my life.

You write well, and are so good at conveying your feelings.

It is alright to have an off day. So long as you know, that this too shall pass, nothing is permanent. I take that, along with one day at a time, to get myself through some rough patches.

I hope tomorrow, you will feel FULL and enlightened.

Tab - I left the house early to go buy a memory card for my new camera. While I was gone, UPS came by and tried to deliver my package. They never deliver that early! Now, I have to wait till 8pm this evening to go and pick it up. I hate waiting........

Thanks for your support, Barbara. I have spent many years trying to identify my feelings, and why I was feeling them. I always thought that if I would dig deep enough, and fully understand what was going on inside of me, I would have a way to separate the feeling from me. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. I am still stuck feeling all my negative feelings.
