I made the best Strawberry Pancakes with Whipped Cream for lunch today. It made the whole day better.

As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artist sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion. - Jasper Johns
(Sometimes it feels like I only see this when looking back, not looking forward.)
Journal Juju:
"....We're not in Kansas anymore,".... I'm not young in some ways anymore. I'm past the age of being a teen, of being things I once saw myself as. I was a sexy, hot, attractive, women. Not that I am still not some of those things. It's just when I married my husband I was in a place that I was like the sex pot. I was flirty and a sex kitten as it was. I found salvation in my sexuality. When did that stop? Even when I am horny I have to talk myself into having sex. Before I would jump at the chance. I am at an age where I can't be the youngest. I can't be the single girl (Both because I am married and have kids and that I am just not that person). I can't be the freshmen. I've done all my firsts. First Kiss, Sex, Marriage, Kids, House. OK so I haven't taken my first trip abroad. But really that isn't going to happen any time soon.
In terms of places I no longer want to be.... I don't want to be in dept. I don't want the stress of never feeling like enough. I want a life that I can be creative and funny and light heart-ed and I've lost connection with that part of me. That is what I miss the most. My light heart. When did it get so heavy? I haven't painted in months. I haven't done anything artistic in months. I am envious of an artist I recently was introduced to. How nice to have a living made by doing something creative. I was taken aback by my own feelings towards her. She didn't do anything wrong. She just does what I wish I could. Instead of being the inquisitive supportive women I hoped I would be I felt resentment and depression. I think I need some changes.
My Mom and Sister are coming tomorrow! I miss them so much! I can't wait!
