I Used To Think...

Time is slowly slipping away from me. My to do list at school just keeps growing and even though I'm diligently highlighting the tasks I complete, it seems that I add two or even three for every one I can cross off. I'm also losing the battle at home as well. Well, today - I am not going to do one single thing UNTIL I finish my post for the Writer's Workshop from Mama Kat's blog. It is amazing to me how much better I feel after I just sit down and write, even if it is only for five or ten minutes.

This week I'm going to write about I used to think...

I used to think that I can do everything -

tackle that to do list one item at a time all by myself

happily throw it away

only to start over again

*

Now I know that -

It's okay to ask for help

(Thank you to my husband - who doesn't think it is only the woman's job to cook and clean.)

*

Now I know that -

It is easier to finish one thing completely

rather than start many projects

only to leave some unfinished.

(I hate the unfinished feeling.)

*

Now I know that -

It is much easier to cook dinner if you remember to take the food out of the freezer.

*

Now I know that -

I can't do everything

I won't do everything

and that's okay.

*

Now I know that -

I must make time for what is important

TRULY IMPORTANT.

*

Cherish the blessings in your life

everything else is miniscule.
