Redesign

Today I have spent far too much time trying to re-design my blog....100% silly but as I sit here and try new color schemes, image layouts, and all the other little details I can't help but think about all the other things I could be doing.

Do you ever get caught in the cycle of creative avoidance? When you do...do you know what you are actually avoiding.

I do. I know I have a laundry list of tasks that are always needing to be tended to. Sometimes though I just sit and do things like this.

I often come across my blog and remember how important this was to much such a short time ago. It was a creative outlet for me to talk about life experiences, recipes, crafts, traveling, and my general thoughts. I never had a HUGE following but it was mine. It is mine.

The last blog I wrote was right before Mae was born...5 months ago.

Life is like that though right?! We get focused and determined to accomplish something and that something becomes the most important task to be completed. Right now, I really want my blog to reflect where I am in life.

Here is what I know...
-I am Sara
-I am a nurse
-I am a wife
-I am a mother of three

Each of the above bullet points makes me think certain things. I have been Sara since I was born. A nurse since I was a little kid. A wife for 8 years. A mother for 6 years.  There is more to me but in this current season of my life I am having a really hard time remembering the other things that defined who I was/am. My days are all very similar. I am mom, wife, nurse....Sara is often the last thing I am.

I am not complaining. Rather coming to the understanding that much like a marriage needs attention and love to be strong and successful, so do we as individuals. Yes, I am going to be mom forever but there will come a time when my children will not take up the majority of my day.
So right now while I am trying to re-redesign my blog, I guess I am really trying to re-design myself.

Have you ever done this?


Cheers
-Sara
