Overextended and overwhelmed

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them-- every day begin the task anew.

I ran across this quote today and it has really inspired me. There are so many things pulling me in so many directions that I feel as if I am waving at myself coming and going. I am so sure there are many more out there that feel this way....somehow that hasn't been comforting me lately.

The good Lord gets me through each day. He is faithfull all the way.
This winter has been tough on me. My Fibromyalgia has been at its worst and that restricts me. My small farm has been a mudpit, there are tree limbs that are 6 inches or more in diameter still lying about from the ice storm. (yippee can't wait to clean that up) The horses are filthy, my dogs are needy, and the cats are eating me out of house and home. (My daughter has inherited my nack for taking in strays.) Oh yeah, I am also working on the Post prom decorations committee and that has been consuming my time that I normally spend cleaning house and tending to the barn.....but the fact that I have been able to be creative has really pulled me out of the holdrum of winter blaaahs. I really need to remember that when I can use my creativity It gives me the power to fight depression.

There are so many things on my list of have to's, need to's and want to's that I have just crumpled them all up and decided to take each thing as it comes to me. If it HAS TO BE DONE-----then do it, If you want to do it and you can----WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? And if there is any time and/or strenght left for the need to's then work them in. Hope I can hang on to this and not delve back into my usual anal organized, overly critical self!
