There are on occasion, days that I have a clear perspective on what I need to do to have my life run smoothly. Most days, I feel the perspective is a bit blurry and I don't know where to even begin on keeping my life organized, my body healthy, and my kids living productive, yet fun lives.
But today I had a clear vision. You know what happens when I have a clear vision?
Psycho OCD Turia comes out to play:
I make lists.
I organize and label everything.
I make job charts, daily schedule routines for me and my family, house cleaning charts, I write down goals, and I actually try to think about what I will cook for dinner for the whole entire week.... this could go on and on.
It's good when I get this clear perspective, even if it's fleeting. I feel like I have to hurry and write everything down that I'm thinking of so that when my blurred mind comes back, I will have a "game plan" of sorts of what I need to do to stay in control. I wish I could always have a sound understanding of what I need to do to keep my house in order, my family in order and myself in order, but the truth is, it always gets a little blurry.
Today, as I was feeling so great that I had some organization to my life, I realized something I've never really thought of before. I can pray to stay like this. I can pray for clarity in my life. I can pray for the ability to know what matters most and then prioritize. I can pray for inspiration for my family, I can pray to understand how to eat and live healthier, I can pray for the energy to do it all.
(laaalaaaaalaaaaalaaa) I love it when I have these simple epiphanies in my life. Life's too hard with the blurred vision that I receive when my life is not in order. I need a plan. I know I'll stray from the plan, but the plan itself keeps me focused... even when I may have to tweak it, I'm still focused. I'm still closer to obtaining that sound understanding that I want and need in my life.
So today's life lesson..... pray. Pray for everything. Not just the basics, but the things that will help me and my family stay happy and focused. That's the ultimate goal anyway isn't it?
Why is it that the simplest of answers in life are often the ones I overlook the most?
