Yes, I have confirmed that I have all of the symptoms and have developed a severe case of ennui!!! I simply cannot get excited about anything right now…..not quilting, not traveling, not reading…..nothing!!!
I know that the cure is to focus on the wonderful people and things that I have in my life and to be grateful rather than disappointed!!!
So, in an effort to move forward, I am going to try to write several short posts about the everyday, mundane things of life. Some of these have been in my head for months but I just haven’t written them.
To get started……
Last night I had the privilege of speaking at the monthly meeting of the “Common Thread Quilt Guild” in Newnan, Georgia. They were a wonderful bunch of women who waited patiently while I had projector/computer problems and then encouraged me profusely afterwards.
It was a good start on my path to beat ennui!!!!
…..more to come……
