Welcome to my unfinished life!! My life has been a continuous series of unfinished projects, hobbies and interests that, well, I lost interest in. Road biking, guitar lessons, surfing, and yes, even tap dancing lessons. Similar to the Island of Misfit Toys, we refer to the garage as the Island of Lorie's Abandoned Endeavors. My hope is to learn to follow-thru a bit more on things, until I become at least proficient in something rather than mediocre at lots of things. Please join me on my journey as I try some new tricks and maybe pick up some old ones as well. I will blog about my travails and post some old stories of my prior mishaps as well. This includes abandoned boyfriends I lost interest in. My husband is lucky - he and the lazy cats are about the only thing I have managed to keep around!!

Life In Less Than A Hundred
Growing up fast, crazy teen years, twenties full of parties and career, early thirties full of angst about said career, then meeting the right person, buying my own wonderful first home on my own, marrying right person, selling first home to create our own home and then - family trips, love, laughter, weddings, big dinners, travel, pets, sisters, friends, wine, music, writing, reading, walking, hiking, singing, health cares and health scares, supporting and leaning as needed, good times and bad, love and death, occasionally awful, sad death , but always, always happy to be alive today.

ReplyDeleteBoy, can I relate to you trying lots of different things and giving them up. I'm the same way and have trouble focusing and finishing things. I flit from thing to thing. I had to chuckle at your comment that you've kept your hubby and the cats!
Thank you for your comments!! This is such a great group. Maybe having a deadline every week will make me finish a few other things I have lying around ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat, optimistic, loving. Thanks
