Blogging

I've joined the blogging world! It seems that I'm slow to embark on the blog boat, but I've arrived nonetheless. I'm a forty-something woman living a life of questions, struggling with the mundane (like the post office - what the heck is it with that place that I just can't get there?) and the not so mundane (a senior citizen mother that is not aging gracefully) to the funny (ask me the latest on my kids) and the serious (ask me my views on Wal-Mart). Through all this, the thing that keeps me on a semi-even keel is creativity. I love nothing more than creating something - anything. It can be a knitted scarf, a scrapbooking page commemorating an event, window treatments for my bedroom, or a halloween costume. It can be creating a moment in the life of my kids, creating a loaf of bread on a crisp fall evening, or a decadent trifle during the holiday season...but I need to be making SOMEthing or I feel at odds. And, amazingly enough, in this foray into my fifth decade, I've found that I'm also enjoying creating ME. So my blog title is: Constantly Creating Christine. Because it's a process that never ends...I'm constantly creating. I'm constantly Christine. I'm creating Christine. I'm constantly Creating Christine.
