So Many Hobbies

  I have dreamed of playing the violin since I was about six years old. I used to grab two hangers and pretend to play the violin. Years later, I watched the girls who played at the church I attended and dreamed of joining them.

  One of the girls I watched became my violin teacher. I finally got to learn the names of the notes, where to find them on the violin, and how to string them together to form melodies. I lived for my violin lessons.

  I eventually rented a better violin, as the one I started out with just wasn't cutting it. The one I am renting still isn't perfect, but compared to my first violin, it is definitely an improvement. :) 

 You now know about one of my favorite hobbies. (Don't you feel special? :)) But I have so many more.

• Photography is something that I would love to learn more about. I hope to eventually have my own photography business.

• Art is another hobby that I hope to learn more about. I would absolutely love to take painting lessons.

• And, yes, I count writing as a hobby too. I don't know what will become of this hobby, but I guess I'll find out as I get older and hopefully figure myself out a little bit. ;)

  There are more "hobbies" such as styling hair, trying out new make up, and, of course, fashion is something I adore. :)

  I often feel overwhelmed thinking about all the things I want to try, or the things I want to improve on. So I end up leaving them all in a heap until one of my "creative days" come along and I pick up the violin, camera, pencil, or paint brush up and try to do something with it. Then I get frustrated that I don't have the things I need, or want, to finish, and, most of the time, I give up. 

  Lately I've started trying to work with what I have and not give up as easily. And, as far as violin goes, my fingers are paying dearly. ;) 

 I don't know what will happen in the future with my hobbies, or anything for that matter. Only God knows that. But I can't wait to find out. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
