Obsessed???
I never really saw myself as an obsessive person. I wasn't one of those kids who could be put in the "Super Fan" category for any band (okay, there was that little stint with the NKTOB-but I was 13 and didn't know any better). Anyways, I haven't usually let something absorbs me, and take over my thoughts- but sitting here today, I realize that I have been in complete denial- I am obsessed. Here is a list of my latest addictions:
- yarn (and all things knitting)
- blogging
- yoga
- digi cam(here and here are evidence)
- surfing the internet
- looking at other peoples blogs and getting lost in "blogville"
I suppose this isn't bad, but.... It is starting to consume me. Shouldn't work be on there? Isn't that the rule, find a job that you love, and you will never work a day in your life. hmmm, maybe my obsessions are trying to tell me something.
There, I admitted it- Isn't that half of the battle?
But! Wait, what if I don't want to become un-obsessed with these things? Here is the tricky part, I am really afraid that at some point one of these things is going to fade off into the sunset and not be on that list anymore- will that make me less of the person I want to be? I am especially worried about my yarn yoga and photography addictions- I WANT those to be part of who I am every day. (the surfing is fun, but it really is getting in the way at work and I NEED to STOP!)
so- that is my resolve, obsession of good positive things- keep going. Moderation is the key for # 5 and 6. Got it, got it.

Don't fell bad about being obsessed! I think most of us are and just not willing to admit it!!
I like your positive spin on it. Let's just call my knitting my current "passion". Yep, I'm passionate about knitting. I agree about the moderation part...except for knitting! :)
If this is a passing phase, I plan to whoop it up while it is here!
I agree with Mandy! I refuse to admit my addictions therefore I can be in my blissful ignorant bliss! :)))
I'm obsessed with things too! Oh no! but i have no problem being obsessed, everyone is obsessed with something.
Thanks everyone- suppose as long as we are doing positive things- productive things, then it isn't so bad- I like the word Passion (good one Becky) it doesn't sounds so serial killer-ish...
