DIY and Engaging with Life
I noticed recently that I haven’t been engaging with life much lately. Atleast not creatively. Don’t get me wrong, I DO stuff. But, it mostly involves emails, priority lists, phone calls and “is there anything else I can do for you?” or “let me know if you need anything”-s. Not a whole lot of right brain activity. So, this afternoon, I found myself in front of my computer screen, taking a break from my usual sunday jaunt (which typically consists of picking up the pieces of the previous week and prepping the artileray for the one to come), when an overwhelming urge to Tumblr search “DIY” came over me. So I did.
Now, as you can clearly see, I haven’t been on Tumblr for QUITE sometime now, but, before I knew it, I was waist deep in favoriting and following DIY blogs left and right. Let me just say, there are some SERIOUSLY CLEVER PEOPLE OUT THERE!
I digress, the point is, after spending HOURS purusing these threads, I’ve established a list of pretty neat projects that I’d like to start D-ing.
Correction! Pretty neat projects that I’m GOING to start D-ing!
Its time to get back in and engage again. Stimulate that right side and actually DO SOMETHING!
I’ve got my list, and think I might start with a super simple, over the door herb garden.
I’m really excited to open up and redevelop this area of my life again. Its been awhile since I worked with my hands as a hobby :)
I MIGHT keep my tumblr up to date with the progression of these projects but, I’d like to think that this new implimentation will find me spending more time OFF the computer than on it. But I’ll let you know.
So here’s to fun things! And actually DOING them!
