This blog is on hiatus. I have revamped NotSoSuperwoman Homeschool, Reviews, and More and integrated much of what would have been here, over there, but am keeping this site for the future. One day, I may be able to keep up with two blogs. Today is not that day!
I hope you'll follow me over to my other site. If you don't homeschool, just ignore those posts. See you on the other side!
I have been feeling seriously inadequate all day. My spirits were down and I was focusing on all the ways I have failed- as a mom, wife, homeschooler, writer, friend, Christian. You name it, I was feeling the failure. And then I put Barlow Girl on shuffle on my iPod as I worked on my NaNo and this song came on, Psalm 73 (My God's Enough). I may be inadequate. This world may fail me and I may fail this world. Frequently. But My God, He is Enough.
Today I am thankful for friends and family. I'm sure this topic will come up again before the month is over, but my focus for this morning is friends who are like family. Friends who show up at my door when I'm sick, costumes in hand for my kids to borrow, and add them to their crew for the trek to a couple of other local churches' Fall Fest and Trunk or Treat. And I'm thankful for my kids who were ready to relax at home with mom and not complain, but who jumped at the chance to dress up and play games with their friends. I am blessed.
Brenda, one of my fearless TOS Crew leaders, is hosting a Gratitude Challenge for the month of November. The goal is to share one thing you are thankful for each day. This can be in the form of a post, a photo, whatever. I'm going to attempt to participate but we'll see how it goes with NaNoWriMo going on as well!
Speaking of NaNo, that is what I am thankful for today. I love having the opportunity to meet other crazy, eccentric writer types. I love the chance to be a writer wannabe and obsess over plots and characters and scenes. I love immersing myself in a story and a world and having others joining in who understand the madness. And I love that my kids join me in this and my husband supports us all, even if he doesn't quite get the appeal. I'm thankful for this opportunity to turn November into a crash course in creativity.
(And I'd be grateful if you'd overlook the fact that you can see up my nose in this photo!)
