Blogger Notes

I will be the first to admit that I am an indecisive and hesitant person. These traits are precisely what brought me to the world of blogging. Well, that and my tendency to jump from concept to concept without fully completing what I began in the first place… you know, I have a scrapbook from a vacation last May that has yet to be pieced together. I took over 300 photographs on that trip, bought the scrapbook about a month before the trip began and then purchased all of the materials I would need to create a keepsake that would hold those precious memories for me to show my grandchildren when the time comes. The week I returned home from the trip, I spread out all my supplies on the dining room floor and began layouts of the pages. Today, over 6 months later, all of the materials, pictures and supplies are shoved into a backpack that is lying on the floor of our home office. This is the story of my life.

I’m the kind of person who has ideas and dreams. Some are great. Some are tiny and seemingly insignificant. Some are crazy. Some just might work. I can usually formulate a plan to move these thoughts into actions. Most of the time, I even begin to follow through with these plans. Practically every time, I stop partially through the project and never see the end result. I don’t quit or give up – I just… stop. And I’m on to the next project. This is beginning to become an issue for me, as I can’t decide what I want to do with my life. I know I want to be a mother and a wife. I want to bake cupcakes for the school bake sale and drive the soccer team to games. I want to decorate our home, keep it clean and cook dinner at night. But I’m told I need to do something besides this. I’ve heard that I have to potential to do great, wonderful and big things. I have yet to learn what these things are.

Hence, I am starting this blog. Here you will find many of my ideas, projects I have started, would like to begin, or am in the process of working on as well as general rants, raves and opinions. I welcome you to tag along while I attempt to tie up loose ends of old undertakings and unlock this potential I know I have – somewhere. My hope is that this project will enhance my soul searching and help me discover my true calling in life. My fear is that it will become just another endeavor I’ll never complete.
