Realization

Poor Greg.

He has to put up with me and my constand ramblings of "What am I suppose to do in my life?? Who I am suppose to become?"

Bless him for sticking with me and for always listening and giving his input.  He always has great advice too; for real.

During one of these conversations, I realized that I am not artsy.  I don't think from that part of my brain.  (After all these years in school I still couldn't tell you off the top of my head which side of the brain that is.) All the things that I have been working on, or will work on this year, require skill from that side of my brain too.  NO WONDER I AM STRUGGLING! :)

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy sewing and creating things, and I really love to photograph my children and things like that.  I am just not naturally good at these things.  I try really hard though.  Greg has this gift though.  He has the touch! To be honest,  I ask him for advice on how to decorate because if I were left on my own to do it, it would not be pretty.  (In no way is that a diss to Greg either.  It is just proving my point that he is more artistic than I am.)  He takes some of the most amazing and beautiful pictures too.  You give him a camera, and he can create magic. (Cheesy I know:)

I am ok with this new realization too.  In fact, I am so grateful for it! I feel that it is because I have been on this "quest" to try new things that I have learned more about myself.  That is a huge blessing to me.

Greg also helped me to see that instead of trying to develop new talents all the time that I should work on the ones I already have.

Genious!

I have a love of health and fitness that I want to develop more.  I really enjoy working out and eating healthy, so I am trying to find new ways to improve in both areas.

I really enjoy cleaning and organizing. (I know I am crazy.) I am currently in the process of organizing our food storage and our emergency preparedness plan.  Read this blog to do the same.

I LOVE being a stay at home mom.  I love it!

I love to read.

I love music.  I am better at listening to it, than making it.

I love to serve. I am not necessarily a good teacher, but I really enjoy teaching in our church.  I am currently serving in the Primary, and I really find joy in teaching and leading the children of our area. 

I still plan on working on the things that I have already talked about for the year, but I feel like my search for purpose is actually working! I am beginning to realize who I am, and what I love to do and not what everyone else tells me to love.

I feel good about this:)
