The title of "purposeful living" on this blog suddenly strikes me as hilariously pretentious and unrealistic. Purposeful, ha! I feel anything but purposeful these days. Maybe "filled with good intentions but not actually getting anywhere" would be a better title.
Intending to spend more time in the Word.
Intending to remineralize my teeth naturally.
Intending to make goals and plans for the year.
Intending to stay within our grocery budget.
Intending to get those clothes put away.
Intending to drop a bad habit or two.
How to make goals and plans for the year when I don't know what this year may hold? When I am wondering obsessively about baby names, when I am exhausted all day and alert only in the late evenings and in the middle of the night, when I am not doing the things that I should be doing. I suppose that is where it starts. I know the things I need to do this year. It's committing to doing them that I find difficult.
Have you read the book "Loving the Little Years - Motherhood in the Trenches" by Rachel Jankovic? It is a quick read, super short chapters, and I find it super encouraging. I think you would, too! (I checked it out from library).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Josie! I read that one last month and really liked it.
