Comments on: Not Quite Q & A http://www.kellementology.com/2009/08/09/not-quite-q-a/ The science of grasping life by the short hairs Sat, 21 Jan 2012 16:36:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Amy http://www.kellementology.com/2009/08/09/not-quite-q-a/comment-page-1/#comment-4721 Amy Sat, 29 Aug 2009 18:26:25 +0000 http://kellementology.com/?p=1465#comment-4721 There is a country song about every end being a new beginning for something else .... and you never loose what you learned in those previous lessons. You are back to work for a reason, and not forever, just for now, until your next beginning - taking along the lessons (and your new photo box and your love of cooking and salads and photography and writing, and time with yourself and your family and your books....) You are back doing something that you can make a difference, something that you are good at no matter how much you might doubt that difference. If it makes you feel any better, I am going through a 'what am I going to do with myself NOW' that that kids are both going to be in school, even though it's just preschool, they will both be out of the house for hours a day and i am stuck home doing ....? What, laundry, cooking, cleaning, ironing, making the family dinner at 9AM? What am I going to do when they are full time in a few years? Do I find a money tree, go back to school for photography? Or suck it up and figure out how (and if I want) to teach again? Sometimes I feel like a gerbil on a wheel going nowhere. Fast, yet ever so slow. Yikes - sorry, if this doesn't make sense. :) HUGS to you - do the best that you can and be happy for it. Enjoy the wine and the senseless TV before 8PM and keep work at work and enjoy your homelife and family. xo ;) There is a country song about every end being a new beginning for something else …. and you never loose what you learned in those previous lessons.

You are back to work for a reason, and not forever, just for now, until your next beginning – taking along the lessons (and your new photo box and your love of cooking and salads and photography and writing, and time with yourself and your family and your books….) You are back doing something that you can make a difference, something that you are good at no matter how much you might doubt that difference.

If it makes you feel any better, I am going through a ‘what am I going to do with myself NOW’ that that kids are both going to be in school, even though it’s just preschool, they will both be out of the house for hours a day and i am stuck home doing ….? What, laundry, cooking, cleaning, ironing, making the family dinner at 9AM? What am I going to do when they are full time in a few years? Do I find a money tree, go back to school for photography?

That I choose to use this space to be sarcastic or maudlin, angry, or unaccepting, questioning or restless is important to me. I don't do it often now, so when I do, sunshine and rainbows are most not likely to surface. Think about it. It's so much more difficult to "listen" to another person who's mulling over something when one is content with what he or she has, isn't it? I’m not unhappy.

You absolutely have to make the decision to be happy no matter the sacrifice. If I were with you and said that I would get a piece of your mind. I'm just saying in a perfect world........

I 'waste' countless hours doing things I'm not supposed to be doing because I simply ENJOY doing them. I cant go through my life like a robot. I need to explore all of my passions. But I am also at a place in my life where I don't know WHAT to do with myself. I dont know who I am, or what I want to be, and I feel like I need to hurry uo and figure that out already.

Then that day came. Then I wondered when I wouldn't play certain sports anymore and that day came. So I guess what I'm trying to say is with every "death" there's a new beginning waiting. And for creative people like yourself, that's a huge motivator to keep moving forward. Sure we love our families and friends, but that creative sustenance is pretty damn tasty!!
