What a fun project - redoing a room! I’ve done this kind of thing several times with a feeling of fulfillment since it was far removed from teaching. The biggest project was fixing up an old stone Ontario farmhouse. It was a ‘weekends project’ that we did for several years, problem being that we overworked, without enough relaxing. After we sold, we kept it to smaller projects. 😉
In retirement now, my hobby is investing, which requires reading, analyzing, decision making to keep my mind sharp. For many years I volunteered at a charity which helped people in unfortunate situations; it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Swimming and walking along with reading work themselves in there too.
I’m increasingly interested the teachings of Buddha, which promote inner well being and peace.
I think you’ve done an amazing job working your way out of a situation that was not of your choosing. Woman power Georgia! It is inspirational. 😘
As you know I've spent a lot of time in Thailand and there's a reason why the people are very contented and calm. It's called The Land of Smiles for a reason. The country is about 96% Buddhist.
The house I'm in now was meant to be an easy project but I'll have owned it for 10 years next year and there is still restoration to be done. Nothing too major though now. I did the last big job last year and put a new kitchen in.
The beauty of creativity is that it lets the mind and heart wander in different directions, take leaps and dips in zones unexplored, unheard of and with a tinge of adventure. It does not give enough time to think in a pessimistic manner, but keeps us filled with excitement, energy and enthusiasm. I learn volumes from the life of Georgia and her approach is an inspiration to everyone who wishes to have an amazing and fulfilling life.
Informative
