Not a sermon, just a thought.

It's one of those days, which lately seem to be more frequent than not, where I have very little to share (several minutes later edit: apparently I have plenty of thoughts to share, just not things that have happened to share). I really need to get some more creative projects going so I can have something to share as well as get some things accomplished.

I've got the housekeeping thing under control- which is of course easier when Hubby is gone to work the majority of the time and sleeps most of the rest of the time. I've been going to the gym every week day and will try to start a six day routine this week. I come home and make dinner for myself and then clean up whatever might need cleaning.

Now that I've got the boring but important stuff into a routine, it's time to add some more creativity. I've done very well about keeping the television (aka the creativity and getting things done killer) off when I get home from work, but it seems like the time between getting home, eating dinner, and going to bed just flies by with little accomplishment. So in the near future I'm going to try harder to be creative and artsy and nerdy and all that good stuff I desire to be. I've already been reading and as you've seen I've started to get into art journaling. But there is so much more I'd like to do regularly- like scrapbook, paint, draw, make jewelry, learn to cook new foods, and so forth.

Life is for the living and I'm learning how to do that better each and every day. The light at the end of the tunnel (aka Heaven) is going to be beautiful and I look forward to it, but I don't want to waste this life on Earth that God has blessed me with by wasting minutes and not doing the things I enjoy. If you're interested in living life to the fullest, take a look today at the the things you'd like to be doing more and start doing them.

Below is my journal page for 5Q. The Q was "how do I feel today?" Lately that can be answered with bright colors like the ones seen below. I'm-a changing and it feels good!

Happy Tuesday!

P.S. After I wrote paragraph four, I instantly thought of these commercials we have in NoVa where at the end the guy (a pastor I believe) says "not a sermon, just a thought." Consider this my reference for the blog title in case the plagiarism police come calling.
