I am not sure what has been going on for me the last few years but it has felt like I lost my "mojo" of sorts. I stopped writing (outside of work) and even working out didn't strike me as too much fun.
But I have been slowing "awakening." I actually have written in this blog for a second time this month (yay!) and I am trying to focus more on doing things that I want to do! I decided to NOT work on getting classes together until next week so that gives me the rest of this week to just "relax," something that I am not always good at doing.
Yesterday I decided to try making a project with the amazing Brother Scan and Cut that Jim purchased for me as a Birthday/ Christmas present. I have used it for fabric cutting (the quilt I recently made for my mother-in-law) but I hadn't really tackled any paper projects. Though the cutting of the first Shadow Box went smoothly, I made a huge mistake in the sizing and not double-checking the layers actually for the frame I had purchased. After getting frustrated last night, I played with the first one again this morning (the peacock) and managed to make it work. I then did the octopus one in about half the time and no cuss words!
After taking down the Christmas decorations around the house, I jumped on the treadmill for 45 minutes (3.05 miles) and then completed 20 minutes of yoga. My hope is that I start to feel better with the running portion of the indoor triathlon series that I am completing (information here).
