So I must confess something....(don't worry it's nothing bad). I've always been the kind of person to be spontaneous and not really have a "plan". I'd see something I thought looked like fun and would do it, often starting and maybe not finishing. I'd go places without planning ahead you know kind of just went where the wind blew me. Though I've survived and made out okay this far I've realize the consequence of my past behavior. Yikes!
I catch myself all the time just doing things because...not really because they have a purpose or because it's something I should or need to be doing, but just because. I know this isn't what I should be doing and I see that my kids are following in my footsteps which has me terrified for them. I know we all need to learn from our mistakes and we aren't perfect and because of this knowledge that I have I'm trying harder to not do some of these things. What I do today DOES matter! SHOULD matter! And WILL make a difference! I think if I can keep that in mind life will be so much easier! And of course by easier I mean I'll be challenged daily, every minute and THAT is what I want so I can grow.
Now I'm not saying that I'm never going to be spontaneous or never going to try new things that I think look fun, yummy, cool or beautiful. It just means I'm going to plan better, love & laugh more and think before I do. I'm going to independently think for myself what is right for me and my family.
