Lately I have noticed that when I get home from work, and on weekends, when I used to be so inspired and enthused to be creative in any sense of the word - whether it be cooking or baking, making an art project, decorating, painting or making jewelry - I can't seem to pull myself out of this horrible funk. I just sit around watching TV or playing on the computer.

I seem to have lost interest in everything that I used to find joy. And, it's hard not to feel resentful having to be the one who does all of the cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc., especially after being told that work would be shared. I get lazier and lazier and seem to care less and less.... O, the winter blues!

I am hopeful that Spring will bring the inspired feelings back to me, as there is so much that I want to do! I have a mountain of cool textured paper that I want to make greeting cards, and a stock pile of gorgeous beads just waiting to be made into jewelry...not to mention the rooms that I want to improve and the work that needs to be finished - like painting the stairs and putting down new floors in the dining room and kitchen.

I can't wait to open all the doors and windows and give this place a good airing out - wash the walls and drapes and windows....Ugh.

Time.... it's all about time. And it's about time I get myself moving. I am hopeful that by simply writing out my thoughts it will be the seed that germinates the inspiration.
