It has been almost four years since I last posted to this blog. F O U R years. Wow!
I originally started blogging four years ago when I was still in graduate school. Sick of the monotony of reading psych textbooks and writing psychological reports, I searched for a creative outlet and sense of community in the blogging world. My enthusiasm lasted for four posts, and then graduate school, looking for an internship, and all the other thrills of becoming a mid-twenty-something took over my life. I had the best of intentions, I promise. Girl Scout honor.
Over the last four years a lot has happened. I graduated. I started my first job as a school psychologist working in a middle school. My husband went back to school to get his MBA. He started a new job. We bought our first house. We moved. And as of late, I celebrated a birthday and entered a new decade.
I made a promise to myself that I would not let the craziness of life take over my life anymore, and that I would find time, even if it were just a few moments a day, to do the things that make me happy and leave me feeling satisfied rather than casting them aside as "luxuries" only to be enjoyed once the tasks of the day to day are finished. I did make this promise in January, so clearly I'm a bit slow at fulfilling resolutions, but I figured better late to the party than to not show up at all!
I want this blog to be an extension of those things that I enjoy so much--cooking, entertaining, crafting, gardening, fashion, decorating, and most importantly (because I'm a psychologist and I can't help myself), finding ways to reach out and connect with others.
So I can't promise that I will post every day (or every other day at that!), but I can sincerely assure you that I will be present more often. Because really, if I can't find the time in my life to enjoy the things that I enjoy, what's the point?
