What it's all really about.

A little about this blog:

Poetry, gardening, new thinking, surprising myself, hobbies, likes, dislikes, and the list goes on. This blog will be a compilation of projects some of which I may even finish.

Throughout my life I have been building a list of things I have started and never found the time or ability to finish them. Lately I can see all these unfinished dreams just lying around collecting dust and it makes me sad. This blog notion has been floating around my head for a while now and (through my husband and various other geeks and tech savvy people I attract) am slowly moving into the 21st century and using these amazing tools. I'm still trying to get my mind around being able to find out basically anything I don't know at the click of my mouse. Remembering it's there is still tough.

So I am a project driven person. I think that if I'm not keeping myself busy with one thing or another then I start to sink. I start to feel myself falling between the cracks and all these really huge pieces of the world are crashing down around me. I wonder why things are this way or that with no ability to change anything and I am slowly crushed until I can't breathe anymore and have to escape. And that escape is writing, gardening, scrapbooking, reading, movies, and WAY too much TV.

Sorry, a little dramatic there, but I think if you don't know this feeling, at least moments of it, with the way the world is today, then you really are a sheep, or you've got some damn good shit, and why aren't you sharing??!! But really, if you can look around, really look, and be happy, then there is something wrong. Granted it could be that I'm just nuts, completely bonkers, round the bend and loopy, but hey, all the best people are, right?

So the plan is to begin keeping track of these badly needed distractions through this blog, share them with anyone who maybe also needs a momentary distraction, and maybe inspire a bit of greener thinking along the way.

As my opening project, I will be chronicling my adventures in Kombucha as I learn a lesson from The Mother.
