I guess there are a few things to share about what makes me, Me! I think it can be summed up in a line or two. Married, 40-something, Mom of 2, empty-nester, slightly over-weight and have 2 kitties for pets. I love to be on the road driving, visiting, shopping/garage sales/flea markets-the car finds all kinds of reasons for stopping! =] I do have a grandbaby(girl) and will be going to visit (and all the above) this coming weekend. I've not seen my son, Gd and her mother for six months...long overdue!
What else is there that would define me...hmm, now that could take some length of time. Hence, the blog and the day to day rantings of just an average country bumpkin. Most days there is not much to talk about and then life throws 'curve balls' and uspest the plans that you think you've got in mind...ha! ha! It is this dynamic that makes us who we are though, really. I've got friends that I believe are so much better than I am, because of all that they've been through, and certainly didn't plan on.
I've had a rather benign existence, but much enhanced by my amazing aquaintances, friends, family and dear ones I like to think of as family. And because I feel quite blessed most of the time as well as growing up in the hardships of a large family with little resources, I feel compelled to 'work' for charity(Syn.Love)and the good of others. I do very little, don't have anything grand that I can put my name to. In fact, I think the Mister works much harder and I willingly share his hard-earned monies too easily on the shopping, gas, garage sales, etc. I like my crafting to go for the local missions, crisis nursery, and other peoples in need of basic comforts as well as a hug and a smile. I especially like to seek out a person or two to share yarn, fabric, pie and other home-cooked goodies with.
And yet, I feel I'm not a very good friend at all. I'm terrible with keeping up w/birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I can be quite a hermit, content with being home, crafting, housework, gardening, and not see and talk with anyone for a week or more. This is one thing that bothers me and would like to see changed. I tease the Mister with being a hermit, a cave-dweller-just him and his computer gaming. But I see that is all wrong on my part and the pot calling the kettle black! So I will have to find ways to amend my bad habits and try and be a bit more proactive with my schedule. If I truly love my family and friends, then I must be a friend...a much better friend. Busy-work does not benefit the way a freind can listen, share burdens, and lend a helping hand where needed. (The Bible story of Martha and Mary comes to mind-see Luke 10:38-42)
If good can come from having this blog, hopefully, many of us benefit from the ramblings of this Country Crafter...
