My husband says, "You always have to be doing something, don't you?" Well, yes, why just sit and do nothing... I am either quilting, doing embroidery, hand work of some kind - - - cannot stand to just sit and watch TV for hours - ours is off all day long, but at 5:00 Glenn Beck is turned on and the TV is on for hte rest of the night - EGAD!!! I do not like it.. I LOVE GB - but after he is done, I'd turn it off... oh well... I'll just keep being busy.. I DO relax by reading - alot
It is a gift <g> ... and a curse! The desire to create is God-given ... and a blessing. But, when others cannot understand "why" ... it feels like a curse!
Our "busyness" make some uncomfortable.
But, don't let them get you down, my dear.;)
It is a grand opportunity to teach others about their unique gifts and how we all have them, and WHY we have them - - to be a blessing to others.
