It has been very hard to get back into my life. Since being sick left so many items on my to do list, it all just seems so overwhelming. And being overwhelmed seems to paralyze me. I haven’t blogged because I didn’t know how to restart, I haven’t taken pictures because I am so far behind, I haven’t cooked because nobody seemed to care that I wasn’t.
I have to say my boys (Way included) have been great. It is amazing how they pull together at the thought of something wrong with me. As frustrating as they can be on any given day (the nature of being a teenager), they never seem to surprise me with hints of compassion when I need it most.
So this is me wiping my to do list clean and just starting fresh. I don’t like failing or not completing a challenge but it seems as if trying to play catch up is not working so well for me. My plan: I am going to start a new daily photo challenge in April, I am going to start blogging as if I didn’t stop and I am just going reinsert myself back into my daily life. It may be slow going at first but here I go.
So here is my current to do list:
Don’t worry. I am sure it will fill up soon.
Recently, I came upon a refreshing idea in something I read!!! Instead of burdening ourselves with long lists of “TO DO’s” why not make a list of all the items accomplished for the day, week, whatever. Use the positive instead of the negative.
Try it for a day see if your burden lightened.
Also – Good to hear you are on your feet! YEA! Enuf chatter for now.
Love forever to my favorite Daughter-in-law. H. { : ))
Right back at ya, mom-in-law. I may have to try that but then how will I know what I need to do?
Forever the list maker. Love you!
Hi, I know you don’t know me personally but Way was one of my girls teachers at Westwind. I have always thought highly of him and I am glad he is there for you. I am sorry you have been ill. Life comes at us quickly and sometimes we can’t duck fast enough. Know that my prayers are with you in this lifes struggles. Blessings.
Thank you for your kind words. We were just talking about you the other day. He loves being in touch with his students and their families. I will tell him you stopped by.
Hey, Kim, glad to hear you are feeling a bit better and that you’re back! Missed ya!
Thanks, Jo.
