Watched the Will Smith movie tonight…and it was as good as everyone has said and it got me thinking about my own pursuit. Or lack of pursuit. One line from the movie really resonated within me. He was talking about how smart he was when he was younger…and how he had all these ideas about what he could be…wanted to be…things he could do as an adult. And he did none of them. I feel the same way. And it saddens me. The idea that some people actually enjoy their work is foreign to me. Getting to do something that they love is foreign. Not that I don’t have the ability to do the same…but exactly how did they arrive at that point? How did they find exactly what they were meant to be doing. I’m not even sure any of us is “meant” to be doing anything. Were we put here for a specific purpose…or have we just evolved? *sigh* I can’t even choose a path. I’m good at a few things…but not remarkable at anything. Can I make a living from being mediocre? I guess I won’t know until I try.
Anyway…spent time with my bestest friend Melly and her husband Greg and their adorable son Matthew. They’re actually what got me thinking about finding something that I love doing. Greg just opened a new store….a little garden center/shop, in the most adorable little red barn in Ravenna. I wish I had the talent and ambition to do something like that. I know, I know…I have to create the opportunity, I have to make it happen, blah blah blah…I can’t even decide what paper to choose for my latest scrappin‘ page. *sigh again*.
So that’s where I’m at this week. I have a couple sewing projects that I’m working on and I’m still trying to scrap those pictures from me and Ty’s frog hunting expedition. Looking forward to a long weekend (hopefully, fingers crossed I won’t have to work).
Hope you all are well 🙂
