Cooking

My love for cooking has not returned since grad school ended.  I used to like to cook but during school it felt like a task that took too much time and then I had to take more time to clean up the mess from it.  We ate out a lot more when I was in school.  Even when I was in school when I had time to cook I would find myself in the mood sometimes and would find genuine pleasure in the art of cooking.

I have not experienced that feeling at all since I graduated and I am kind of sad about it.  I would like to find the love again not only because it makes sense health wise and finance wise but because I am perplexed that I could love doing something and then a couple of years later find no joy in the same task.  It makes me feel like I don't really know myself.  I know, I know, drama queen as McKayla would say!

I am forcing my way through cooking and I have found a glass of wine while I do it helps.
