Good Morning Life

Hello to all!

It's been a little while since my last post. Life sort of threw a wrench into things- or maybe a lot of little wrenches, and this blog fell to the wayside. But the important thing is that we get back up if life slaps us down like a ferocious cat.

The fact is, I don't feel like getting back up. I don't feel like doing anything. But I'm gonna do stuff. The problem is, I sometimes look at the big picture and think, "Gosh, how can I accomplish this?" but the fact is, things get done in steps. If we make clear goals then take actions to bring us closer to those goals, we will eventually find that we have met or exceeded them.

So, yes, it's a new year and people are all about changing and resolutions. My best friend and I fill out a book every New Years with our hopes for the future and what we accomplished the previous year. This year we decided, "Hey, instead of saying 'I have to do this thing', let's just say, 'Hey, I'm going to work on doing this thing'." And we are working on "doing things". We had a great idea for a podcast last night, so we're going to get some mics and when the kids are sleeping or my husband is watching them, we're going to record. It might not be perfect, but it's a step toward achieving our goals.

So, maybe that's your takeaway for today- don't try to solve the whole problem at once, break it down into steps. You might get it wrong from time to time, that's okay, just go back and work at it until you get it right. Life is all about grace and growth.

So, that's all, just wanted to say, "Hey, I'm still here."

Until next time, bye.
