I was just thinking about all the things I want to learn and do and I just get myself soo overwhelmed! I want to learn how to take great photos of my kids like this chick. I’ve got a great camera I just need to sit down and learn how to manually adjust the settings. My sisters was blessed with all the brains, I was blessed with . . . well, I’ll get back to you on that one. Last week I downloaded a free trial of Adobe Elements 9 (I’ve currently got Elements 5), and sat and learned all the cool things you can do with it. Wow there is soo much to learn, but I did photoshop this picture of Macey and I think it turned out kinda’ cool.
So anyways, back to my point. I want to be like this chick and make great meals for my family. It wouldn’t hurt if my desserts were as delicious and cute as this chicks either. I wish I had a deep and vast knowledge of this scriptures like these chicks. I wish I was as athletic and healthy as these chicks. I wish I had a great garden like this chick. And I wish I sat down and did more projects with my kids like this chick. And on and on and on. There is soo much I want to DO and soo much I want to BE I just overwhelm myself and then I don’t accomplish anything because I don’t know where to even start. Ya knowhwhatImean? So what are you good at? How do you find balance and achieve all the things that you want to? If you have the answers on how to be supermom/superwoman let me know! And if you don’t that’s okay too, just let me know what your thoughts are.
I’ve had these very feelings – I think these blogs you metion are a blessing and a curse! You can learn so much from them but you can also overwhelm yourself with everything you are not doing. I have to be careful with how much time I spend looking at these blogs and digging myself deeper in the hole of ‘i wish i could do this’ or ‘i wish i could be like her’. There are so many things I want to learn and do but there simply isn’t TIME (and sometimes money) to do it. And I have to be okay with that. Maybe next year I’ll get a new picture up in the frog bathroom or paint my bedroom. Maybe I’ll start that scripture journal, maybe I’ll learn to cook or garden.
For now I’ll take one thing at a time, focus on what I’m good at and how I can share it with others.
Good luck to you on your quest! And if photography is on your list…read, practice, and practice some more. It takes time just like everything else.
