The New Project

user

From my profile you must have gathered that I am embarking on a journey of me. I must admit it is difficult for me after all these years of serving others to focus on myself. I cannot bear, however, any more endless, empty hours with no clue how to enjoy myself after my little darlings have been blissfully entertained. They are getting older and do not need my attention as much.

I do not want to become one of those women who wither and die when their kids leave home. Quilting and bridge have been suggested but I fell asleep before I heard all the benefits of engaging in these activities.
If I don't come up with something soon, I may end up wandering around Wal-Mart with a kitten sweatshirt and a tight perm ( http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/ ). If that happens, I give all of you permission to shoot to kill.
I start my new career as a massage therapist in January and it will not come soon enough. I hope doing something I love will bring new energy into my life.

    Good for you Emma. Nice to see you Shining in so many ways. I took up painting a couple of years ago (I'm 58) and my work has surpassed that which I could have expected (without any formal art training). It can be done and you can do it........... Massage is a wonderful way to help others and from what my hubby tells me giving a massage also has return benefits to the masseuse. Wishing you much joy in your new endeavor. Hope you stop by my place to let me know how you are doing. I also have one of my paintings up on my WEE WEE HOURS post. It is of a picture of a woman's face that I saw in my curtain one day at sunset as the sun came in through some condensation on the bow window. I also won a blue ribbon in our local County Fair this year for a painting I did of a Spring Lamb. Go for it, Emma. You'll be amazed at what you can do. God bless!
