Yesterday I was looking for some rainclouds because I was feeling like staying indoors and organizing things… today I feel like some sunshine because I want to go outside, walk the dog, and take some pictures (which I haven’t done in a while). But God laughed, and gave me the opposite. Eric and I sat inside yesterday on a sunny (ish) day and organized. Oh how good it feels to be organized – to have a fresh look!
I realized last night how much scrapbooking paper I Actually have… and it’s so disorganized that I sit down to work and huff because “I have no supplies” when in reality I just can’t find what I want easily so I settle for whatever I can find. So, I sat at my scrapbooking [hole] desk and separated my 4x6 paper into prints, Solids… squares… circles… plaids… floral… Holiday (in descending order starting with New years)… etc… (yes, I am that anal retentive) Then the 8x8… then the 12x12 I have a LOT of paper. Now to get pictures printed…that’s a different post altogether.
Eric worked on getting his things in order and he went through a “junk bin” that’s been sitting up top of Aquaman’s kennel since forever and we tossed trash… lots of trash.
I’m having a hard time deciding what to prioritize recently. I want to work on so many things all at the same time. I have awesome things to be trying to prioritize, and I’m looking forward to finding the balance – which may be one of my “something new” goals. I have never balanced a TON of things.
I want to be fully vested in everything I do; however, I need to find space in my brain to be partially vested in everything and fully vested when I’m actually working on it; that’s where the balance problems come into play.
So here we are… on the brink of Relay season, I just became an elected member of the Call Committee for our new pastor at GLC, I am (always) a youth advisor, and I want my brain to forever be thinking about vacation; to Vegas with Mariya or vacation somewhere – anywhere with Eric. Oh and then there’s the ‘hobbies’… I want time for scrapbooking, time with Eric, and time to play with my photography. I want this perfect blend of everything - a girl can dream....
