Finding joy in the everyday things life brings, especially the smallest and simplest things that get missed, and finding ways to create more of those small and simple moments that mean the most.

Self bashing has to stop!

So I started this blog to help me do hard things.  You know the little ones that get overlooked frequently.  Like that load of laundry that's been calling your name and you just haven't done it because you know you won't actually finish it because seriously! you already have a 3 ring circus going on and how are you suppose to do one more thing?  At least for me that's how it works...

So there is the laundry, dishes, whatever it is that just sits there calling your name because you don't have time to do it right, or even half right, and so you just avoid it and try to pretend it's not there.  You beat yourself up over it over and over and over again because you really should have done it earlier...hours ago... well actually days ago... If you do start to do it you don't finish and then you get upset and beat yourself up over that too because come on!  I should be able to get at LEAST one thing finished all the way! 

So this is what I've been doing to myself for quite some time now and I started this blog to help me do those little mundane tasks and see the joy in it and now important each and every one of those things are.  The problem is I've still been beating myself up over all the other things I haven't gotten done and so I haven't really kept up with the blog or even continued to do much other than beat myself up.  This blog has been haunting me as one more thing to do and I've decided it has to stop!  Not just for this blog but for every thing!  So the last few days I've been doing better and you know what!  It's been awesome! :)  So now I'm letting everyone know (or really no one at all since I think my sister is the only one who knows about this)  I'm stopping the self beatings now!  I'm going to keep this blog going and use it better to do what it was started to do!  Especially now that I know better what I'm really trying to do! :)
