Eventfully Dull

Whenever I am talking to someone that I haven't talked to in a while they always ask how my life is. And they do it with SO much enthusiasm that I am almost hesitant to answer because I don't want to let them down when I say my life is actually quite dull, involving work, living at home and treatment. I mean literally my days come and go and aren't full of much excitement. Is that my fault? Maybe partially but I also believe that this is just the stage of life that I'm in at the moment. In order to stay with my meal plan, recovery and all that business I have to sort of make sure I'm not throwing myself into situations that are so exciting that they blow me out of the wrong direction in this recovery process.

Does that even make sense? After even writing that out I can read the word EXCUSE written ALL over that sucker of a sentence. Well, dang. But in ALL honesty I have been starting to at least think about branching my life out a little. Have I physically taken the action to add some excitement to my life? Negative, but that doesn't mean it hasn't crossed my mind! Here are some things that I'm thinking:

• Take a jewelry class to learn how to make well, jewelry of course. 
• Take some photography classes to actually learn how to learn the functions of my camera.
• Volunteer with people AND animals. 
• Go to church.
• The thought of going back to school in the spring of 2013 has actually crossed my mind. 
• Moving into my own apartment is being tossed around at the moment. 
• I'm going to plant flowers and make a healing garden. 

So those are just a few things that are running rapidly through my brain. But honestly, I'll take those thoughts ANY day over the eating disorder's voice, which has actually been somewhat loud this week. Mostly at the start of the week but that's another story for another post for now in this moment we're doing fairly decent :) 

Until next time let me leave you with a few pictures of my oh so entertaining life:

I've made Easter care packages for girls in residential treatment. 

Walked with both girls and staff from Renfrew at the NEDA Walk. 

Turned 22. 

Photographed a good friend and her crazy fun kid. 

Had ducks in the backyard. Lily wasn't sure what to do with her new best friends. 

Then we had bunnies that ran the ducks off eventually. 

They sat and stared a lot, either at each other or off into space...

The flowers my parents have grown.

Made a Secretary Appreciation gift for the receptionist at Renfrew 

Flower Pens in a cute flower tin. 

We like spring…not summer. 

Okay, until next time be good and stay sweet. OH and check out my NEW crafting website to the right of this post. Click on the birdhouse picture that says With Love above it!
