"Oh the world is so full of a number of things I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings" Robert Louis Stevenson. I had a friend who gave that quote to me years ago. She was an older woman and she said this to me frequently. It stuck with me as I'm sure she intended. It's true there are so many things and places that are available to us. I get on pinterest and I realize that I miss baking and cooking, gardening and all kinds of things. It's our job to enlarge ourselves and grow ourselves. We were never meant by out creator to become stagnant and boring. I grew up cooking, baking, hunting, playing baseball, kickball, riding bikes, skates and many more things. We weren't allowed to sit in front of the TV all day and night. Obviously social media didn't exist but I will say that because of social media I see very creative people being, well, very creative while I look at the pictures. So it's time for me to go back and take up the things I love to do. Last night I made chicken marsala (it was great). This evening I believe I will attempt a strawberry cake. I will enlarge myself once again by taking up new endeavors and by following my grandmother's lead and begin to travel, yes even if its by myself. God put this earth here it's beautiful and there's no reason to wait for someone else to take me places when I can create my own adventure and enjoy days of Heaven here on earth.
