Bloom where you are planted...

Don’t you love it when life throws you these little lessons that you need to learn. I’ve been thrown one lately. I’ve spent so much time wishing that I was somewhere other than where I am. Last week I was getting very frustrated that I am living here in Nevada and I really don’t like it. I would love to be able to just get up and move back to Utah, but that is not what my situation is right now. So instead of sitting here, wishing my life away, I’m going to try to bloom where I am planted. I’m not quite sure how I’m going to do that, but I think that it’s one of those things that unfolds as time goes on.

I think that it will have something to do with continuing to learn how to be a mom, how to be a better wife, and how to be a better Meg. One thing that I’ve noticed is that I spend a lot of time thinking about the things that I want to do or make and not a whole lot of time doing the things that I want to do.

So I’ve been trying to get up and DO more things that I want to be doing. So far this week I’ve made two blankets for friends, gone to the library and checked out some origami books, and started drawing out my pattern for our Christmas stockings. I also, went to enrichment this month, went to the girls game night in my neighborhood this month, and tried to talk (or at least smile) to most of the people that I’ve been around and met. I think that I would like living here if I knew some people, so that is the goal there.

Instead of fighting it, I think that the blooming has begun. Wish me luck…
