Whew!  It has been a busy spring.  I have neglected this space but I am always thinking about it, which is kind of what I do in a lot of areas in my life.  Today I read something along the lines of...if you are constantly ingesting good information but never digesting it, it isn't really doing anyone any good.  I am really good at ingesting information...I love it actually but the doing or digesting is more difficult for me.  I printed off a poster this week that I am putting in my creative room and it says "what you create doesn't have to be perfect".  I am not sure where this tendency of perfection comes from...I wouldn't classify my parents as being perfectionistic but they were very critical of everything around them.  Perhaps I transferred their criticalness into thinking I needed to be as perfect as I could be so I wouldn't be criticized.    I do know I H A T E criticism and will do anything to avoid it.  So now that I have ingested more insightful information, what will I do with it?  I need to put feet to my words/thoughts.  I have 5 more days of school and then I will have a good chunk of time to DO.  I want to be thinner when I start school in August, I want to have created items by knitting, embroidering, and scrap-booking, I want to continue to foster friendships by doing fun things with friends, and I want to be free to be who God has created me to be.  This is the summer of Doing!  So excited to start...but first I need to research/think a bit more! :-)
