Reflections on life from 40-something

Self Portrait Sunday 10/26/2008

So here I am on Saturday around noon, churning through my to do list. Why in the heck do I feel compelled to keep on like this? Every day, there is more stuff to do than minutes to do it in. And I am not just whining when I say that–I seriously need to sit down and figure that out, because this is just not right. I mean, Biblically, it’s not right, even, to never have a minute to just BE.

How are we supposed to be still and know He is God, if we are never still?
Where are my boundaries, and how can I make sure that they are respected?

Yeah, this is the first only shot I took, and I don’t even know what it looks like. I’m not taking the time today to make sure it’s “acceptable”.

Sometime this week, remind me to tell you how I said “I need 5 minutes” and walked into my room and shut the door, only to have it opened not 45 seconds later. If I look a bit harried, now you know why.

Ack, my glasses reflected. I hate that. Absolutely hate it. Not changing it anyway. :razz:

    I hope you can find some time to BE soon. I know the harried feeling myself.

    [...] I took about 5,327 pictures before I got one that didn’t make me look mental or like a goon. What can I say? Somedays the camera is my friend, some days, not so much. I had a horrible time getting a glare free shot today, so I finally took my a href=”http://www.lbweyewear.com/”>eyeglasses off. Can someone please explain the principles of light theory that dictate whether not not there will be glare off my lenses? I totally hate that, which I believe I mentioned not too long ago. [...]

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
