Things I'm not good at:
- keeping my house clean
- keeping up on the laundry
- shaving my legs regularly
- making an awesome dinner
- counting my calories
- folding bottom fitted sheets
- basic addition and subtraction
- oh, and multiplication
You know... the things that don't really matter.
Things I am good at:
- telling my kids I love them
- hugging and kissing them
- praying for my kids (and husband)
- explaining God stuff to them
- being at their events to cheer them on (like a crazy idiot)
- stopping what I'm doing and looking them in the eye when they are talking
- apologizing when I do things wrong
- giving my kids boundaries so they feel safe and secure
You know... the stuff that really matters.
For some reason I needed to remind myself of this today. So I made my lists (and checked them twice). And even though I'm not good at a lot of things that I wish I was good at, I'm happy with the things that I am good at.
What does your list look like today? Do you like the way it looks?
Your list of things u are good out totally outweighs the list of things u are not so good at. Have a blessed day! <3
ReplyDeleteI love your lists...and who the heck knows how to fold a fitted sheet anyway! Those people should get checked out!
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile. You are totally right. I think I will go make myself a list as well. Can't be hard on yourself when your good list is filled with such amazing things and your not so good list is filled with silly things that really dont matter

And you are good at making lists, lol!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing the important things! And I intentionally wash and put the same sheets back on so I don't have to fold them!

I can fold a fitted sheet.. but aside from that my not-good-at-list is about the same as yours- and ad onto it:
ReplyDelete"remembering to buy cards&gifts for special occasions"- I procrastinate that and end up late. Yes, even for my husband's birthday.
I hope my Good At List is about the same as yours. too. I am also good at having headaches.
Love this post!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteOooh....I love your lists! I love that you have the courage to tell the truth about the stuff that isn't important....and that you realize that stuff that is important! I needed that reminder too. I am going to make my own lists!
ReplyDeleteOur lists are alot alike. Now, where is my razor???
ReplyDeleteGreat lists - I am totally with you on the second list :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not good at any of your Not Good stuff either, except for cooking....I rock the whole cooking thing.
ReplyDeleteYour Good list is awesome. I'm not so good at explaining God stuff sometimes. That's a hard one!
I'm also bad about not stopping what I'm doing and looking them in the eye. I need to work on that!
LOVE this post!
