Bite sized chunks. Aug 14 2019
Life can be overwhelming.
Especially when you do so much. Literally, every day can feel like we are just running in place to get to tomorrow. It’s a lot to accomplish; trying to be a great mom, wife, employee, artist, athlete, human, etc. Any of those on their own can be a full time job. And I know I’m preaching to the choir here… many people in my life routinely take on even more daunting challenges with more gusto and less complaint than I. But it’s still a lot.
I think that the best way to tackle something as daunting as life is just to take it one bite a time… we only have one brain, two hands, this minute at a time to live this life. We need to make the most of it. Each moment I have with my daughter is precious, and I am insanely grateful for it. If I start thinking about the big picture, of everything at once, I get lost and overwhelmed in the flood. So instead, I just try to take it one bite at a time.
Today I started a few paintings, only working for about 30 minutes. I am trying to write 10 minutes at a time, when I can. I try to work out, one day at a time, every day. Eat right, one meal at a time. Kiss my perfect baby one little kiss at a time. We do what we can.
