6 Months later-
This is utterly ridiculous! This is unheard of! This is NOT the way I planned to live my life!!!
I began this blog earlier this year as a means of finally devoting some time to the things I enjoy most-I began writing on a regular basis and photographing just about every thing I ate-
Much to the dismay and often disapproval of those who were eating with me. The meal would not begin unless a series of photos were taken.
It is funny how life is-or at least how my life life, and then again funny is not the word-more sad than funny!
I promised myself that I would continue working on this blog as long as I ate, as long as I continued to cook and bake. So much for promises!!! My last entry was June-this is 6 months ago!!! 6months-and I cannot really tell you why, nor what has really happened within that rather long space of time!
I certainly did not stop eating, and I well-did not really stop cooking and baking. Perhaps not to the extent at which I would have liked, but at least I have not stopped completely. I have just writing about it!
It s terribly saddening for me to realise how easily I can become swamped by work and how easily I am able to let go of those things which really matter to me. What in heavens’ name have I done with the time-what have I become?
Do you guys ever feel this way-or is it just me???!!!
I do recall saying to myself-back in July when I realised that a month had gone by without an entry , that I must take sometime and write an entry into my blog-and these moments became days, and then weeks and then months and now half a year!
I am writing this entry at 01:46am, after an all-nighter the night before, and I really should be in bed. I was actually in bed already but called my brother across the Atlantic to say hello. I told him about the pumpkin seed pesto that I had made recently (and tonight again) and the wonderful raw food restaurant at which I ate last week in London (a truly culinary highlight!!!). He asked me if I had put these experiences into my blog because his girlfriend was looking for things I mentioned having made recently and was not able to find them.
I paused when he mentioned this to me. I was not even aware that his girlfriend knew that I had a blog, and that she even had an interest to take any time to even look through it!! This completely dazzled me.
It dazzled me enough to climb right out of my nicely warmed up bed (which took forever to warm up), and finally, after 6 long months I am ignoring my “sleepiness”-from the night before-ignoring that fact that I have umpteen things on my work agenda for tomorrow -ignoring everything else and I shall now forget all space and time and delve into my passion-that is of course-food. Why?
Because life is simply too short not to take time out to enjoy the things one enjoys most!!!!
Thank you Liz!!!
