Crafting and Coffee

I was thinking about both of these things and didn't even realize they were two C words until I wrote them. I love that the title worked out so well. I just read about a lady who like myself isn't crafty. I also love the idea but have come to accept that I am not. Every once in awhile I think I should be and then I get frustrated and remember why I'm not. I am the cleaner. I feel most at piece when everything is neat and tidy and in its place. Crafting stresses me and it creates clutter and unorganized space. I was chatting with some girl friends last night and I love how God has created us all different. Some people have that peaceful feeling when they are outside with there hands in the dirt digging and weeding. I look at weeds as work and rarely feel accomplished when I am done in the yard. Now we did just get a sprinkler system so I may feel different next year when I can plant stuff and not have to worry about the watering. Now about coffee. I have heard a lot about people cutting Coffee due to diet or just to try it. Now I give them kudos for trying. I however, will not being trying this. I LOVE coffee. I love the smell. I love the taste. I love sitting in my chair having a cup of coffee and reading my bible in the morning. I love a warm cup in the afternoon. I love an iced coffee when I go to the pool on a hot summer day. So once again. Nothing life shattering to share here. Just more of my thoughts.

Hi Kristen! I hate to reply to such an old post, but I am new to the blogger world, and feel compelled :)

"Every once in awhile I think I should be and then I get frustrated and remember why I'm not. I am the cleaner."

I know EXACTLY what you mean!

Only thing is I have not had the blessing of learning to accept it :( Many times I find myself pursuing things that do not make me happy. I consider these moments similar in context. My mind wants to accomplish so much. Some people label it OCD, or a control complex, but I still consider it simply drive. I am driven to accomplish things I was not meant for.

Cleaning, for example. I am also a "cleaner," but I have not exactly thought about why I sometimes find frustration when trying to be crafty. Your insight has given me the answer! However, I still feel driven to craft! :/ I want to find MY OWN WAY of being crafty, and even if I recognize that each of us are different and have places in this world, I believe EVERYONE can be ANYTHING, just maybe in their own way.

Conclusively, I want to thank you for opening my eyes to your insight, even if it was a year ago that you wrote your thoughts. This idea will help me understand myself better, which in turn will help me with many other things in life. Thank you Kristen!
