I'm going to start this week by focusing on what I have accomplished, what I have planned for my week, instead of worrying about all of the things that I didn't get done! That's kind of like counting my blessings . . . . .and not carrying around the burden of unfinished business. So, I'll make my list of things TO DO this week, and check them off as I accomplish them, and try to stay focused on living in the moment. Enjoy what I am doing right NOW and not always be thinking about what I need to do tonight, or tomorrow, or Thursday afternoon. If I write it down, and get it out of my head, that seems to help. But usually my brain is just in overload, and I can't quite get it under control! That sounds scary!!! Perhaps I'm the only one with this problem . . . . . it's like I can't turn it off. I even feel like I'm creating "stuff" in my sleep. And then when I'm awake I keep thinking of all of the "stuff" that I could create, and how to do it, and what it would take to make it work. Maybe I'm an inventor . . . . or perhaps I should have been a scientist . . . . . or maybe I should just be myself and keep on creating stuff!
I recently received an email from a customer asking if I would consider doing custom-made clothing . . . . . for her. Of course, I CAN do that, but do I have time? Well, she saw a dress that she really likes but it is not in her size - so I'm in the process of re-creating the dress in her size. In my spare time ;o) And then another customer wants to know if I could write a few eBook patterns for children's boutique designs in sizes 8 - 12. You know, the really fun stuff for the 'tweens. Because it is SOOO very expensive to buy gorgeous clothing for young ladies in this age group, and she wants to make a few things for her daughter. So, would I write a few more eBooks? Of course, in my spare time! See what I mean? I just have way too many ideas bouncing around in my brain, and it just never seems to be ready for a nap. But I am . . . . I'm tired so I guess I'll go to bed and try to get my brain to settle down for a few hours. But then I better get busy making that dress and writing those eBook patterns . . . . . along with all the other "stuff" that just constantly fills up my brain.
I'm counting my blessings - just can't count that high right now! If I have time, I'll jot down a few of my plans and goals for the week when I wake up in the morning. Perhaps if I organize some of that "stuff" that is cluttering up my brain, I'll be able to focus on living in the moment. I just am having a hard time keeping up with all the activity up there!
PS here are a few of the beautiful Mother's Day gifts I received from my girls! They made them for me in art class and they were so proud of their wonderful, hand-crafted gifts for Mom ;o) I love them!
