Well, I am going to start really using my blog as a journal to help focus my fibery life. I love knitting, spinning and sewing and feel like I have been depriving myself over the past couple of years.
Sometimes I look back and try to figure out where it went wrong. I am pretty sure it was Iraq. I spent almost a year deployed to Iraq in 2011 and I really haven’t been the same since. I want to call it the “Iraq effect.”
It changed me.
I have been trying to wash off the effects for years and am finally making headway since retired from the military. The reminders of that time are few and far between now that I am no longer in a military environment and the chance of deploying again is nil.
I now feel like I can begin again and treat myself to the hobbies and pass times I love. I really want this for myself.
Wish me luck on creating and maintaining momentum.
