I say slow down. Yes, slow down. Let some things pass you by. Appreciate the little things that give you a second of serenity. Put your feet up and watch your favorite TV show, including the commercials. Play a game with the family. Take a hot bath. Do the laundry tomorrow. Make PB&J sandwiches tonight and give yourself time to go for a walk. Say “no” when you need to and “yes” when you want to. Don’t go to bed thinking about work or what you didn’t do. Enjoy the life you have and live in those moments. Stop thinking about tomorrow all the time.
This blog is about that kind of life. I am lucky enough to work from home but even when I didn’t I was adept at making a good work/life balance for me and my family and to fight for it when I had to. I understand that bills have to be paid and, yes, the laundry does need to be done. Work is necessary and often can be incredibly fulfilling. Work can also be back breaking and mind-numbing.
How can one craft an enjoyable day? I’m hoping that through this blog I can share how I do it and give you some ideas on how you can, too.
The way I start is by having gratitude. I am very grateful for where I live. It's the best place I can be right now. Beautiful, friendly and warm.
Welcome to Crafty In Cobb.
(P.S. - I'm also not afraid to shamelessly plug my art and designs. I sell at markets and fairs all over the area and it'd be stupid for me to pretend like I don't.)
