Just like the word from the other day, Boisterous, Passionate is an extreme emotion in my opinion. I am such an even tempered person that extreme anything is hard for me to wrap myself around sometimes.
However, there are some things that I truly am passionate about:
My family:
I would do anything for this group and that includes our extended family and friends as well. We may not always see eye to eye but we are the core.
Crafting: I love making things and sharing them with others. I love trying out new techniques, repurposing everyday objects and I love my crafting room.
Concert going: We went to a whopping 11 concerts last year alone. I am able to combine my passion for concerts with my passion for crafting in my scrapbook pages:
We've been lucky enough to see some great ones, include Tom Petty and Prince who are sadly no longer with us. We are waiting for this year's "season" to begin.
Reading: I've been reading since I was a child and my first job was in the local public library. I read 22 books last year, not a lot by some standards but I usually only read at night before bed so I tend to fall asleep after a few pages unless it is an exceptional book. There were a few days that I took some time to sit on the back porch and read for a couple of hours and that was very nice. I'd love to have a house big enough to have a library room.
Last but certainly not least, I am passionate about smiles. I've made it my mission in life for the past couple of years to try and make at least one person smile every day. I believe it has a ripple effect and I think it is good for both the giver and the receiver. I am so passionate about it, I use it as my "brand" in my blog, Janet's Smiles, and my Etsy shop "ASmile4UfromJanet." There is so much hatred and political strife nowadays that I can't do anything about but smiling is easy. I've had a couple of customers at Michaels (especially during the holidays) comment on how I am always smiling no matter how long the line is. That makes my day.
I'm looking for a "smile" I can use to as my "signature." I don't want to use just a "smiley face" because those are too generic. I want something that is a little more "me." That may be one of the things I work on this year, finding my right "smile."
How about you? Passionate about anything? Did I make you smile today? Make sure to visit the #JusJoJan gang for more passionate examples.
