Lovin' Life: Exploring My Areas of Growth Potential

Today was just another normal day.  I seem to never wake up quite early enough so I spent my mornings rushing around running downstairs to get this then back upstairs to get that.  I finally ran out the door (five minutes behind) with wet hair – it’s okay I've got my hair tie on my wrist and will just pull it up at the first stop light I have to wait at.  I have something that resembles a lunch – I guess breakfast is just not going to happen again this morning.

My only saving thoughts today are that my car is NOT out of gas and I already have tonight’s dinner done and will be welcomed home by the aroma of amazing spaghetti and meatballs, patiently waiting for me in the crock pot.  As I strive to become a successful wife and homemaker, it’s these small victories that keep me going.  When I feel like I've let everything slip through my fingers, I try to focus on the one thing that I was able to succeed at.

The author of one of my favorite blogs, The UntrainedHousewife, calls the areas she struggles with “areas of growth potential.”  I love that.  When I run into those areas that I’m having difficulty with I no longer look at myself as failing but as exploring my “areas of growth potential.”  So fellow wives and homemakers in training, don’t get discouraged.  We can do this!  And by swapping ideas and sharing our successes we can help each other along the way to becoming the individual homemakers we are striving to be.
