Lately I’ve seen a lot of advice for people with ADHD. It’s been reassuring to realize I’m not the only one struggling with wanting to learn everything about everything all at once. Spring has arrived, I feel myself shaking off the winter doldrums. My energy levels higher than they have been in months.
And with the increase in energy comes the fresh ideas and motivation regarding about 20 to 30 different possibilities. How on earth am I expected to pick one or even two at a time?! I’m at constant war with myself about where to focus my attention each day. Push. How many projects am I working right now? Pull. Can I take on another one? Push. Should I finish one or two of the open ones? Pull. Am I at a standstill due to weather or others? Push. Is the delay procrastination on my part? If so, why am I avoiding it and what can I do to remedy the situation? Are there quick or almost complete projects that I can wrap up before having to start dinner? You get the idea.
This morning I’m grateful for this “problem”. When I’m on my game I’m crushing it. Like this morning: filing taxes for myself and my husband, planting trees and maintaining my flower pots, responding to data call emails, and updating the family calendar. But if I’m not careful and focused the big picture can feel overwhelming. I have to remind myself it’s only a 100 small projects yet to be accomplished.
So I sign off to continue working my little projects with the hope of them all culminating into the beautiful tapestry that is my life. Peace out and best wishes to you and all of your projects!!!

Book Review: A History of Chesapeake, Virginia (Definitive History) by Raymond L. Harper
A History of Chesapeake, Virginia (Definitive History) by Raymond L. Harper This summer I ended up spending time beside the Dismal Swamp Canal. I grew up with one of its many fingers stretching behind our neighbor’s house. I’ve kayaked and canoed down its waters, passed over via car on a small two lane bridge, and…
Some Fall Weekend Farm Fun!
Never have I ever… worked on a farm. DRINK! Another check mark on the bucket list for this old bird. This season’s adventure is Fall on the Farm! I lucked out with a pretty cool sister in law that listens to and looks out for me. She caught the hiring advert and forwarded it on…
R.I.P. Dolly Pardon
R.I.P. Dolly Pardon ~ My heart squeezes each time I hear about someone honoring Dolly Parton. IF there is a way for Dolly to see it all she’d be truly honored. I did not know the woman personally. But watching her as I’ve moved through life there has always been this honest ring to all…
Is it the Feet?
So I’ve been investing more time in Instagram lately. And I’ve gotten a fairly large number of views of one of my videos. And I can’t help but wonder, is it the feet? Or is it the comment at the beginning? Are they expecting drama? What’s the hook? I made it because it was cute…
