The Inside Workings of My Mind

I'm going to open the door and tell you about the inner workings of my mind for a moment. If you get bored, I understand. Just thought I would lay it out there.

I'm always trying to think of ways to earn some money but not have to go to work. So, of course, this makes me think, "what are your talents?" Hmmmm... reading, crocheting, sometimes crafty items. And my mind starts turning and churning.

Book store? Maybe it would be a used book store. But how many people would really come to a little place like that to buy their books when the big stores have so much?

Crochet? It would have to be some sort of booth situation or online thing but my poor hands don't create fast enough to have a good supply. Then when I am done with a project, can I really get out of it what I've put into it to make it all worth the time and effort?

And the crafty? I like it but just not enough to make it work.

At times I have braided all three ideas together and created a nook and cranny-type store in my mind. Walls filled with books, over-stuffed chairs, hand-made afghans and shawls, and hot-cocoa. Knicknacks all around. Just a place to sit and feel at home, then you purchase some of it and take that "home" with you.

Maybe I don't want it bad enough, maybe I'm just scared to do it, but then, maybe someday I will be able to live my dream.

Thanks for sharing a little time with me and letting me think "out loud".
