Life's bizarre times and desires

 

December has brought me the desire to create, so I've decided to start making jewelry again.  For now, just for me, to fulfill that desire and see where it takes me.  I'm happy to have even a little sense of direction.

The Christmas season is upon us and I will be posting seasonal stuff.  Don't ask me what that means, but I also have the desire to look into everything Christmas and write about it.  Of course I will continue with the food blog posts and find festive recipes.  And I'm definitely getting back into graphics, but it has been like having to learn all over again since it has been several years and the software has gone through dramatic changes.  At least it is keeping my mind occupied.

Maybe I should say that this month has brought me to a new beginning with definite desires after a couple of years with no desire to do anything at all.  I know how it sounds but I like to be honest about how I feel.  Life makes us go through bizarre times.

Hope everyone is having a good week and continue to an awesome weekend.  Another online friend has passed away and it made me very sad.  Anyway . . . below I have listed everything I've posted this week.  The emphasis has still been on food.

Holiday joy and blahs

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Every Thanksgiving I enjoy a delicious feast that Door Dash brings to me from Bob Evans.  It is the next best thing to having to cook for a family.  I'm thankful for a tradition I enjoy.

Since the holidays are not a pleasant time for me, my mind is lured to the thought of food and cooking.  The things you are supposed to do for the holidays.  Something I loved so much, but will never have again.  So, writing in my food blog is the next best thing I guess.  It is a release for all those food and cooking related desires.  One day I will enjoy actually cooking again.

Yes I have gone crazy with the food blog.  Now you know why.  And it keeps my mind occupied.  I'm thankful for having the desire for something, anything.  Since The Captain died it was all nothingness.  So I'm thrilled to have some desire for something coming back.  I've delighted my mom with my renewed sense of humor and laughing again.  Even telling her funny stories.  That is what he left me with.  He would have wanted me to laugh and find humor with life like he did.  Trust me, this is progress!

The sadness I can't get rid of is missing my little doggie girl Kiki.  That is killing me still.  Oh the anxiety!  I'd love a lot of little Kikis, but I can't.

My desire for this month is to find those things of holiday joy to share with everyone on all of my blogs.  Get ready for the holiday-ish posts.  Yes, and the desserts since I have cut sugar from my diet if I care to live a longer life.

Have a great week everybody!  Listed below are my new blog posts.
