MY WHY - WHY I STARTED THIS BLOGGING THING?

Just like a lot of other people, I needed to a create an outlet and this was one way I could express myself. 

​My about me page says I will be blogging about things in my place, whether it is a project, organization, gardening or random topics, it will be about the home.  

Since the pandemic, I have been working at home for almost a year now.  

I am sure there are a lot of folks who have been working even longer from home.  For me, it certainly does draw attention to all things in my house  that I have not noticed  before or  just did not have to time to pay attention.  Being in the same place allowed me to see the house as it is  and to see what I would  like it to be. ​

​The biggest thing for me has been  behavior –  there is a certain comfort of working from home.   
​No more (at least for now) getting into traffic or being stuck in traffic because of an accident.  ​

​No more being late for work.   

I realize I do not have the ‘I’m out of breath feeling’ sometimes I had when I was driving to work.

I found that I am calmer.  I think because I am at home, I feel safer and it is easier for me to work.
Anyone else feel that way? 

Even though it’s easier, doesn’t mean the stress is not there.  Changes with my job came quick, first it was lowering the fulltime salary and then going to part time. 

I remember thinking "ok – we’ll just see where this goes."  

It was certainly a stressful situation.  It was in this period of working part time that I started looking at creative outlets and other ways to perhaps generate income. 

One of the ideas was starting a blog which I’m doing now.  For me it was something I have toyed with in the past, but never put any umph into it until now.  Because now I’m at home more than ever and now I have the time.  

Just having the gumption to say I am going to do it and then do it is a success. 

​And now  I will take this journey  and see where it takes me.
