In a Pickle!

You ever feel like your in the middle of a mess and don't know where to go next? Sometimes with this new business, I feel that way! I wouldn't say that the business is a mess, but sometimes my brain gets ahead of itself and comes up with so many ideas that I just don't know what to do or where to go next. And then I just sit and do nothing! No good. My mom taught me the best motivation - just do it! Sounds like a Nike ad, but it is so true. When you sit on the couch feeling overwhelmed by what you need to do, if you just get up and do one small thing, then it's accomplished! Then you do another small thing, and that's one more thing done. I have found that even when I am exhausted, if I just get started, I get so much accomplished!

So, looking at the laundry sitting on the couch that caught up to me makes me think that maybe I'd better just go do it! It's just a few loads to fold, right? Oh, and then the load that's in the dryer...and the big load that's in the washer. Hmmm, guess I'd better go get started!

Resting

Do you ever feel like you're sitting in the calm before the storm? That's my Sunday! Sundays are my day to take a break, rest from the busyness of the week and just not work! Not even laundry. And the best part is that I don't have to feel bad about it. Sundays are a gift from God: a time to reflect on the past week and look forward to the whirlwind of the coming week, but not worry about either one.



So today I enjoyed a morning at church (which I got to on time only by the grace of God!) and then took the kids to Grandma's house. After great fellowship, we came home to eat some lunch and play. I enjoyed my book and my coffee throughout the day. Overall, I rested - what a good feeling. And the day isn't over yet!



Sunday has turned out to be my favorite day.



p.s. There's lots of exciting things happening on Fruitful Hands Boutique, but since it's Sunday, you're going to have to wait until tomorrow to find out more about it!
