That is a big deal for me. I have always been really hard on myself. But I am trying to come to terms with the fact, I can't do it all and that's okay. It really is okay to ask for help if it's needed. It isn't a sign of weakness. It won't be the end of the world if I ask for help or admit that I can't do it all. I'm sure there are times that I will forget this idea, but it is a work in progress. =)
Today at church, the pastor asked us to think about "what type of story do you want your life to be?" Since I am working on this Blog and I am an avid reader, that really struck me. I don't know right now what type of story I want my life to be. But I'm working on it. This afternoon, I began to re-read one of my favorite books (Jewels of the Sun by Nora Roberts) and in it, the main character "runs" to Ireland after her marriage falls apart and she finds herself unhappy with her job. She goes to Ireland (where her granny is from) and begins to give herself permission to live her life. There are times where she doesn't know the direction her life is headed but she believes that it will eventually all fall into place. She has spent her entire life (up until this point) doing what is expected of her and she is slowly doing things that she wants to do. For some reason, I can relate to this character... =)
Well, this is all for now. I will try to write later this week because tomorrow I am trying something else that scares me to death but I'm gonna do it - I am going to attend my first belly dancing class tomorrow evening. I am preparing to feel muscles that I didn't know existed... I'll be sure to post where they are located. =)
