Guilt

I am dealing with some major guilt issues. I just read my mother-in-law's blog about her trip to France (not all of it but lots). I was thinking of how important it is to write about one's life. I am so overwhelmed with everything that I have to do that I am often paralyzed and do nothing. I am driving myself up the wall. Well I need to at least try a little bit. Reading my MIL's (mother in law)blog is so awesome. She is an awesome writer and seriously has my favorite kind of sense of humor. I love getting to know her through her writing!!!!! I hope that there will be a way to know me better. I can't promise anything with this blog that has taken me over 2 months to make two teeny tiny entries but maybe some other way. This blog is entitled "Guilt" because that is what I feel for all the things that I should do that I don't do like writing or journaling often, keeping an orderly house, exercising, eating too much sugar, allowing papers to pile up so high that the kitchen counter disappears, or having my kids watch tv so that I can get something done...just to name a few. Boy do I need to get my act together or what? I just hope that one day I can look back at this entry and say that I have changed!! One of my favorite lines from Anne of Green Gables is "Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it" or something like that. I also like the song by Garth Brooks "If tomorrow never comes". I want to make this day better and live it as if it were my last so that tomorrow I will have no regrets and no guilt.

Oh my gosh, can I run over to your house and beat on you some more!!!! You're so wonderful- so WHAT if you have things piled on the counters. And would God have made something so wonderful as sugar if we weren't meant to eat it! Journaling isn't about guilty. It is about therapy. It is about recording things you don't want to forget. It can be a gratitude journal. You don't have to be funny or profound, although I think you are both. I love you dearly. There is a time and season for everything except GUILT! That is totally unacceptable! Love you, angel-voiced DIL!
