Today I am wishing I could pick something and do it really well. I feel like I do many things okay, but nothing really well. I see all these wonderful things that my friends (and by friends I do mean my friends because they have amazing talents, but I also mean my cyberfriends that exist in the world of Pinterest) can do and everyone that has these wonderful skills. I feel like I am always doing things half-assed...which is possibly the most annoying thing I can think of. These are some of the skills I would like to fully develop/do until I became really good at them so I could see where they could go:
- Baking
- Cooking
- Sewing
- Organizing
- Gardening/Veggie Growing
I would also LOVE to have something like this actually produce income for my family...yet again, I feel as if I am not contributing to the bottom line of the family. I know I am because being a stay-at-home mom is one of the hardest and also rewarding things I have ever done, but it does not help pay the bills.
I also have the volunteering options in my life...at church, at Tommy's new school and anything else I can get my hands on. I do love to volunteer, but my problem is that I cannot say no (even if I am in over my head). So I worry when I volunteer that I will get in over my head and be miserable - which then in turn makes people around me miserable...
Humph...I guess I will just keep plugging along and have faith that I will find the right direction for my life.
Sorry about the rant, but for some reason I am struggling with this today.
Cheers to struggling because without struggling you cannot figure out the right path!
Steph-
ReplyDeleteI struggle with the same thoughts. Maybe it's good to be OK at a lot of things, though.
Let's plan a playdate sometime soon!
Miss you!
