I admit it, I am overwhelmed………a little off course. There, I said it. Just like many of others I am busy juggling. It is not always easy to keep all those plates spining. I sometimes take on everyone’s happiness around me and with three kids that is not even possible (I figure if one out of three is mad at me I am doing something right). My calendar is color coded and looks like a rainbow, my list of things to do outnumbers the minutes in the day but I am not complaining.
I wake up each day hopeful and looking forward to the things on my list. I do have those Worst-Mom-of-the-Year moments when my son says they won their basketball playoff game by 2 points pro-longing the season and I have to remind myself to say “Great!” and actually mean it. In these times I find myself beating myself up the hardest and really under-delivering.
This is what I know for sure………I AM also blessed, loved, happy, busy, inspired, motivated and never alone. I can only do so much and in those down times I need to take them and make the most of them. So I try to hit my art journal nightly and first thing in the morning.
It is in these moments when I feel the waves of change coming on and in the uncertainty I know that if I let the busy-ness get to me moments like this will slip away…
I love those moments the best…..I AM is the motto for this month. and I AM…in the moment.
