Just a sprinkle in life

My life is crazy. I joke at work that I am like a sprinkler moving chick, chick, chick and then oh wait back to where I started. Jokingly, I say that my grass is not burning up but is not lush and green either. The sad thing is that it really is not a joke. I feel like I don't do anything well because I am doing too many things. But I don't know what to give up. So I feel guilt. Guilt is not a good thing. It is something that makes me wonder what is my purpose in life when I know darn well what my purpose is. I am a mother to three beautiful children. I am a wife to a husband who loves me even when I just move from thing to thing and don't know where I am going. I am a daughter of parents who have touched my life in amazing ways. I know where I am going and I know how to get there. I just need to focus and not be so hard on myself. While reading a blog babymakingmachine.blogspot.com, she talked about a conference that she went to and what she learned. These were her main points. -Give your mentors permission to be completely honest with you. -Stop trying to be perfect at everything and worry about what REALLY matters to your family. -It's not a race. There are not finish lines where we're going. -Take risks, and always feel a little uncomfortable in your job (it'll push you to get better). -Define your own success and don't let anyone elses vision dictate your own. This struck with me and I hope that I can do my best because that is all I can do and let the rest go instead of festering inside and causing harm to my body and soul.
