Creating a Purpose

I've been stuck in a laziness rut for nearly two years now.

I don't sew anymore
I don't blog unless my guilt gets the better of me, then I begrudge the process because I'm so behind
I don't scrapbook anymore
I don't plan parties and I dread holidays
I don't garden...winter seems so long
I don't bake like I used to

I am beginning to feel the nudge to create again. I'm not sure what but I think it would bring me purpose and a sense of satisfaction.

Women around me have started selling baked goods. That seems tempting but I also hate the money part. Others sew and sell their creations. Again, the money.  I don't want to charge for my hobbies.

Sewing is such a past art. I don't even know what I would sew. Blankets are a big undertaking and I have two that are unfinished and need to be quilted - again a big undertaking.

Scrapbooking has so many possible forms (paper, digital, blog) and I'm not sure what I want to do moving forward though preserving pictures is important to me.

Blogging is easy when I get in the groove but I'm still behind and the process of transferring from blog to paper is a big time commitment for underwhelming results in the printed pictures.

Garden. It will come, but no matter how much I will the snow to go away, gardening is still months away.

Baking just leads to eating things that ruin my health and weight goals. I have no snitching control when in the kitchen.

Surprisingly, scrapbooking stands out to me as the most pleasant and possible thing to create right now. I just need to figure out what that will look like.
