On my mind

Lots of things on my mind lately . . . most having to do with priorities and what really matters.

I love receiving inspiration on how to be a better parent, a better wife, a better friend. It always amazes me when these thoughts and feelings happen . . . it can be anywhere from driving in the car, while making lunches, in the shower . . . but I've realized it is usually when I have quiet around me and my mind isn't racing about other things to do.

This week my goal is to get those priorities straightened out. I have some committments that will need to be fulfilled but then I think I will let them go. It's funny how I let others' opinions of me chart the course of my actions. When really, that doesn't matter . . . what matters is how I take care of my family and teach my children the things they need to know.

It isn't something new I've just figured out. More of a constant reminder that hopefully I am really listening to this week.

What's on your mind this week?

Thanks for the Thank You stickers! I love that they are all baby ones :)
On my mind this week is my seedlings growing in my kitchen. I so badly want our garden to be productive yet at the same time I am trying to comfort myself that it might not be because it is our first year trying and we are so new to all of this.

I didn't get on the computer from Saturday night until late Sunday. It was refreshing to "go offline".

school issues... But I also needed this gentle reminder from you about priorities -- focusing on what is really important and letting go of others' opinions. Thanks!

I'm right there with you, Melanie. And I've come to realize that my daughter's opinion of me is really what matters the most to me right now...:-)

I am planning to respond to your email, just haven't had time to sit down and write. Sending big hugs in the meantime... :-)
