Sometimes daydreaming is something more...

It feels like I am always daydreaming. As it turns out, even while daydreaming my mind is busy at work; coming up with all sorts of ideas. Some crazy, some feasible. This fact doesn't give me much solace from the fear that I am destined to be an ever procrastinating airhead to the rest of the world. How can I appear to be "normal" when all of this work is going on at all times in the background of my mind? Better yet, do I really even care to appear "normal" at my age?

Hmmm... there my mind goes again! Anyway, sometimes I just have to let my mind have it's way with me ;) Okay, I'm back.

I always wanted to be creative. Actually, I have always thought of myself as a creative person trapped in the shell of this "type a" personality. When I was young it was all about creating barbie clothes out of the old dress up clothes my mother gave my sister and I. Then when I became a little older, baking became a serious interest, then I wanted to learn to knit, crochet, and sew like my mother. Unfortunately, as a young person I had the attention span of a gnat so most projects were short lived. As I've gotten older there have been a few constants in my life; Yoga, baking, beading, jewelry making, and knitting).

Yoga has been the most fulfilling constant. Even as I find myself being pulled away from it by other endeavours, usually while trying to do what others expect of me, it's still there in the background of my mind, just waiting to have the chance to be centre stage once again. Why have I not realized by now that this is a sign? More importantly, why did it take me so long to realize that this sign means  I am not destined to be an ever procrastinating airhead after all? Perhaps it means I am destined to share my passion for Yoga and other creative projects!
