Catching Up

A few facts about my (at times) seemingly insignificant life:

What I'm reading:

• Going Rogue, by Sarah Palin
• Psalm 30
• Baptist Chatecisms

Projects:

• Getting my basement in order, and a guest bedroom set up for when company comes.
• Helping organize a wedding, to be held on April 24th, for Ashlee and Daniel (engagement pics coming soon).
• Painting my bedroom. I got a new comforter set last night, and I'll go buy the paint shortly. I might even take before and after pictures, just for YOU! ;)
• Writing a book. I've actually started the writing process. Meaning, words are on paper screen. Writing time will be sporatic until April 25th, but I plan to hit it harder than ever after that.

I actually have more projects going, but those are the ones that take precedence. If the Lord so leads, pray for me. I'm not exactly pro at knowing how to juggle what and when. And of course, these are all projects that I've added to my daily routine of homeschooling and a volunteer job as secretary that sometimes takes a lot of my time. I love everything I do (except cleaning toilets). But organizing when to do what is not really my forte. Perhaps I need a secretary of my own. ;-)

I am reminded of a quote by Mark Twain that says:

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

So I pray that I keep my focus on the tasks that are really, truly important. And at the same time, explore, dream, and discover.

It's a balancing act that this off balance ballerina could use some help at.
