i tend
(always)
to spread myself thinly.
really thinly.
too thinly.
i love starting new things.
new:
systems,
projects,
commitments,
plans.
but my follow through isn't always superb.
that's not the fun part to me.
new,
fresh beginnings,
births of projects,
now, that is my idea of fun.
(photo taken by the lovely KS)
i think i can handle it all but my balance is not usually
(or ever)
balanced.
in college, i took a photography course
where one of our first assignments
was to take a collection of self-portraits
without actually taking a single photo of ourselves.
one of the photos i took
was a group of five small potted plants
that were on my patio.
each were barely surviving.
i want to
do everything,
see everything,
be everything.
but i'm not.
and i can't be.
Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory
Psalm 73:23-24
