A New Day

I recently posted on FB that I viewed every Monday as a fresh start to a new week in which I could try again to accomplish my goals. That very week, I had painful dental work and my husband was home sick from work for 2 days and I was entirely sidelined from my plans. I took it in stride, however, and looked forward to starting the next week new.

Well, it's been a couple more weeks and I've had minor victories, but nothing big. My mom has told me more than once to have little goals and to just focus on accomplishing one thing at a time. She says that eventually it will all get done. It's hard for me to feel that way because as I get one thing done, my 3-year-old destroys something else. Or someone has a bad day or we get behind with homeschooling, or I get behind with my work I do from home, or something happens. It feels like I can't ever get ahead. So my mom is right and I should just focus on small things. This is very hard for me.

Today is a new day! I am not pleased with my accomplishments from the day before, but I have a new chance today to get more done and feel good about it! With God's grace I will succeed!
