enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

hmmmmm.

Oofta. What a week. I wish I could say I am busy doing cool projects or at least doing SOMETHING – but instead I am drifting on a case of the Blahs. Not to be confused with the Blaha's.

Paul is charting a course through his final year of rotations for Fall 09 – Spring 2010. This means we are coming up with all sorts of plans for where and how we are going to live together and apart for the upcoming year. And as exciting as that is, I am just a little bit overwhelmed. And a lot anxious to pull the covers over my head.

The thing about all the planning makes me think I should be doing some sort of planning of my own. As in, what am I going to do with my life? Do I even know that I want to do? Too many of these thoughts are sure to send the Blahs right at you.

Happy weekend – I need to shake this off and enjoy Christmas.

    It will all sort itself out in the end.
    (ALTHOUGH, if you pull the covers over your head you’re less likely to get the VERY BEST POSSIBLE PLAN for you life.)
    😉 BUT, it always sorts itself out in the end.

    I’m just some random girl in Minnesota who reads your blog religiously and would have to agree with Dee (above my post), You are doing it. I love your writing, love your photography, and have done many of the handmade holiday ideas, inspired by your page. I would say just keep doing it. And then keep blogging about it so I can do it too! 🙂

    I can relate–I have been in a creative funk and feeling blah too. I think this time of year lends itself to introspection/reflection/looking to the future, which isn’t always easy to do. You have awesome ideas and skills, so I am sure the new year will hold wonderful things for you!

    Oh, Elise–don’t fret. I know how hard it can be navigating a life that involves a significant other who is away working most of the time…but you have to concentrate on YOU first and what makes you happy. Follow your bliss, and keep your eyes wide open–no use hiding under the covers. I hope your blahs disappear and are quickly replaced by the Blaha we all love. :)Merry Christmas…♥S

    I didn’t know what I “wanted to do with my life” until I had already been doing it for 2 years. Sometimes you just have to try, start, begin, explore and it may hit you later. Leap before you look sort of thing. xo

    Its ok to feel that way. I’m dealing with a little bit of blah myself. Good luck and I’m sure things will work out how they are supposed to.
