Creative thoughts
So here is the deal. I make all these goals and have all these amazing ideas. Songs I want to write, stories I want to write, crafts I want to make, gifts I want to give. Yet, the follow through I just can't do. How do you take all of your wonderful ideas, intentions and actually follow through and do them? How do you find the time, motivation and not get too overwhelmed by the real thing? How do I give myself the shot of confidence and ambition now that I'm an adult and all those dreams seem so far away. I'm trying to make goals, but then I sit down at the computer or piano, or at the craft and it's like the doubts, the work involved the reality that I'm not the best at anything just comes crowding in, let alone my daily responsibilities. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them. So much I want to do, but following through is killing me.

I am anxious to call ruth and see what she thought about calling in with my sister's friend who is a life counselor. Maybe she had some ideas for the follow through as this is my biggest struggle as well, all these thoughts and ideas and then kids and computers get in the way! Good luck and let me know what you find out!
I had that feeling when I started making a quiet book for the kids. I put it off several months, but finally decided to tackle it. What helped me was breaking up the task into small steps. Today I will cut out peices. Tomorrow I will sew all the red peices on, etc. It also helped to set aside a specific time to do it--for me it was during the girl's nap. Maybe you can say Wednesday night is my project night and have your family know that they cannot disturb you.
