Sifting Through

I'm famous for getting "big ideas", being excited and then not following through. What is the deal with that? I use to get pretty upset with myself until I realized that I'm "sifting through". It is possible that I could better handle my way of sifting, but I do have fun. My goal here is to encourage you not to give up looking for that dream, whether it is a new job or pursuing your own business, crafts, relationships, studying, or what ever you might find yourself sifting through. If you love new ideas or love revisiting old ones, let me be the first to say, enjoy sifting and finding that gold nugget.

I love to write and for years I kept coming up with grand ideas for writing a novel. Oh, I'd be excited and formulate an outline, write a chapter or two and than, nothing. Finally, my husband said, why don't you write short stories? What a great idea! So, after my first grandchild was born, I decided to write to her and my future grandbabies. Did I do it? Yes,I did. At some point as they get older each one will receive a book
from Grams.

My point is, don't beat yourself up if have not decided what you want to be when you grow up, just keep sifting.

Finding The Time

Why not make today the day you make a difference in someone's life? Think about what would bring a smile to a face. Open the door for someone, if someone is loading groceries into their car, stop and ask if you could return/use their cart...it doesn't take much. Another thing I like to do is purchase a book and give to someone who has mentioned a topic. Money is on all of our minds during these economic times.

I'd love to hear what you do to touch a life.
