I discussed in a previous post my leap into a new phase of life and how I was going to try to balance my adventures. I gave a long list of things I want to do and here’s a progress report on how I’ve been teetering during my first month.
Alot:
service to family
service to friends
reading
gardening
crocheting
Some:
blogging
exercising
A little:
quilting
scrapbooking
practicing piano
organizing and cleaning out my home
child advocating
None:
family history
learning Photoshop Elements
So……..not too balanced overall, but I’ve had some interesting times and done other stuff that wasn’t on my list. I was starting to be a little hard on myself when I remembered a blogger I’d like to “Pay It Forward” to this week. Tara at Undeserving Grace has a great outlook on life and a strong faith. Her posts are interesting and fun and she has some memes that repeat. Say It Again Sunday often has some great sayings and I liked this post that helped me lighten up with the Bob Marley saying I’ve included here.
I also enjoy her Thankful Thursday posts that help me remember to be grateful for what I have and her Blessings in Bloom posts of her garden always cheer me up. Pop over and visit Tara. You’ll be glad you did!
Not a bad first month!
I’m off to check out Tara’s blog …
Stop being hard on yourself! You are the most amazing woman I’ve ever known! You accomplish more before noon than most of us accomplish in an entire day!
I love the blog that you highlighted! Even the blog template is happy. I’m following Tara now too.
You’ve done great! Besides – looking after The Old Man takes more time than any of us have…and I appreciate the help! Sounds like you need to do more quilting….hmmm…let’s go fabric shopping!
Hey! Thank you so much! That’s awesome i’m glad you found me in such a huge blogosphere. I’m grateful for your compliments i’m just putting my personality and passion into posts. I’m going to hang out and check out your corner of the web now 🙂 you Always have reasons to smile so no need to be hard on yourself
Have a great week!
