In Favor of Dabbling


Don´t let someone call your dabbling a lack of focus.

I dabble for fun. I dabble because that is how adults play. I don´t get out toy trucks or dollies....but I taste and test out whatever hobby or craft I find interesting.

Don´t take yourself so seriously all the time. Yes, there is time for mad hatter work ethic where you are beedy eyed and uber focussed. 

But on your down time, learn to play a little ok?

Some of the things I´ve dabbled in over the past year....

Collecting wild apples without catching poison ivy.
Painting cement molded items and then glazing them with decoupage...

Writing a song. Stay tuned :)

Making a few youtube videos, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUYJ6-lcy0bUWbC0k_Brxg

and doing random photo shoots of whatever tickles my fancy.

Watching baby pine trees grow from the seeds that fell from the dry pine cones I used to decorate my houseplants.  

 Harvesting and cooking with the chives that grew back again this year.

and the list is neverending.

Yes, I have my list of goals, and yes, I am uber focussed on them. But I work hard and I play hard. Dabbling is serious play time.

May you play a little or a lot this weekend.

Peace,
Carla
