So, it's a new year...
And I'm trying to prioritize things. I'm a mom, and a wife, so my kids and hubby come first. But I'm also very creative and feeling very stifled because I don't have a lot of time to be creative. Even now, as I'm writing this, I'm stealing time from something else I'm supposed to be doing that I'll make up when I don't take a break or don't eat lunch or... you get the idea. I have ideas swirling around in my head, and I feel guilty sitting in front of my screen, writing, when I could be doing something more constructive, like reading my kids, organizing my home or bedroom or cleaning my house. It's got to partially be a Catholic thing.
But that's thing. I don't want to feel guilty, because when I'm putting words to paper, I feel good. When I'm drawing out a pattern to sew, I feel happy. When I'm creating something, I feel alive. And I want to hoard that time and those feelings. I want to be able to do all these things without the guilt.
So I'm stuck. But won't stop doing these things. I just need to get rid of the guilt.
