Everything is changing. And...things are good. I've realized how much a positive attitude can have on your everyday life...and...well...it certainly leaves less time to dwell on negative aspects and bring yourself down.
Our family is changing. We're in preparation mode for the arrival of our son. It's an amazing time. It's just as amazing how much one little life can require...and he's not even here yet. I guess you just want to make sure that everything is as perfect as it can be so that things are safe and you know he's going to be just fine once he gets here. It's cool...I've never experienced this before so the whole process is truly mind blowing.
I'm switching careers so to speak. There is nothing concrete but I feel as though things are very close, and it's really exciting. Change is good and necessary sometimes...and now is one of those times. It is refreshing, anxious, and something to look forward to all in the same breath.
Woodworking is going well. I'm under the gun...as I always seem to be. It's not that I love procrastination, but I think sometimes I need the direct pressure of a looming deadline to elevate my focus. I'm just finishing up a beautiful display cabinet for a great looking Belgium Browning shotgun, followed up by a multicolored toy box for one of the sweetest young men I know, and a brand new order for matching hickory end tables to compliment the dining table I created for a Christmas gift. If I could only find those stumps.
Everything is a balancing act. Physically and mentally. It's up to the individual to find that happy medium without losing their mind or becoming exhausted. I know it seems there are never enough hours in a day, and maybe there aren't. And...if you're not trying to please one person there's always another around the corner waiting to be pleased. It's a difficult balancing act...one I'm trying to perfect...one I feel I'm getting better at...but one I also feel I have a long way to go.
In the end you can only do as good as you can do and try to improve upon that. I'm trying to improve without the burnout...nobody likes the burnout.
