new pieces, a new year and being content



I've been thinking a lot about all the blogs I visit and how inspiring they are and how
dreadful my blogging, flickring, facebooking, domestic attempts are. The truth is, I am not a perfectionist. . .at all. In fact I am absolutely fine with some things, okay, many things being just ok. I absolutely respect and admire those folks, like my husband, who master so many things and sometimes inspire others to do so. They are neat, tidy, attentive to every detail, accomplished in every thing they do. I've often thought I might be lazy. Recently however, it has come to my attention that as a full-time art teacher and part-time crafter, wife, stepmother, pet-owner, etc., I am spending my free time working on that which inspires, motivates and simply pleases me. I am so totally content. Like so many things, I suppose I wish that I were highly motivated for example, to learn to skillfully cook my favorite Thai dishes, in some ways, nothing would please me more, except maybe exactly what I am doing.
So my goal for this year may be to include in my blog the reality of an average gal wading through the challenges of an everyday life. There will probably not be any delightful recipes or craft tutorials shared but there might be a little bit of comedy in my trials and possible tribulations that I will absolutely be willing to share.
