Endeavor

Creative endeavors. I love that word, endeavor. It has a great sense of mysterious whimsy and yet a slight air of passion. This is something that will be part of my 2011 existence. Figuring out how to put all of my creative thoughts and ideas into a cohesive creative endeavor.

While we're on the topic of my not-so distant future in... something, I might as well get off my chest the loss of patience I am experiencing with my current struggle.

Pulling up stakes twice in 10 years and moving around, has proven to be one of the mightiest of lifes teaching tools. On the other side of that, is the almighty human need of providing for myself. In comes the service industry to save the day! (pompous super hero music follows) Meeting a quick group of friends, which is the biggest plus in my experience and then of course the quick cash. No one can deny that it is so hard to give this up. When I am in need of quick revenue, I pick up a shift and the need is sated. But I'm getting off track.

I am getting older. (dwindling game show loss sound follows) I get irritated much quicker, I get tired a lot faster and let's face it, I am the grumpy "old" lady at work. This is where my patience has thinned the most. What ever became of just picking up this line of work to get extra cash and moving on? The lack of patience here lies in myself. I have been too compliant with my own ways to really push myself in another direction.

So here it comes, another year. Another chance to make something more meaningful of my passions and energies. Not wasting them on another persons subsistence, but to make them more useful by taking a new and improved approach on all things. Wheather they are whims or full blown ideas. Really getting out there and starting a new endeavor.

A new decade and new goals

Well, it's been 2 YEARS since I've written and as I sit here on a NEW laptop and a NEW decade and pushing my boyfriend to start writing again, I figure, do it yourself girl! It's a great creative outlet for the dozens of ideas swirling in my head, that need a springboard for their potential to be maximized.

Well, it's been 2 YEARS and I'm STILL waiting tables to supplement income. I don't have an issue with waiting tables, I have an issue with not moving forward with my life with the extra room waitressing gives you. It lets you take off time, more time than any other job. It gets you the quick cash you need for small projects and if saved right, the savings to start something big.

The year 2010 was supposed to be the beginning of something big, as that year closed I realized it really is time to kick this into high gear. I love card shops, I love coffee shops, I love all of my friends' creative endeavors and if we could all come together, we would really have something special. Individually speaking to all of these people, they all agree. So maybe if 2011 can be the year we all came together, I am sure that this little blog that can will describe a NEW decade of success.

A NEW year of ideas that generate a momentum that can't be denied and a final resting place for my apron. Happy NEW year!
