{Boundaries}

Yellowstone

I'm learning a lot this year. And one of the big lessons I'm learning is -- boundaries. More specifically I'm learning my boundaries and what I can and cannot do. Many people can take on the world and they look like they have it put together. Sometimes I feel like I can do it too. A few days into tackling the world I become worn out and at my wits end.

I'm apart of the primary presidency for my church and I feel like some days I can manage and other days that's the last thing I care to do. I can barely manage my life.... the last thing I need is a meeting. Tonight was one of those nights. 6:30 rolls around, I'm just getting out of the shower and I'm already late. Finally getting ready and making it out the door I'm saying a little prayer that it's going to be a quick night. It's not. Taking care of some things and then walking around and dropping of CDs of the music for the primary program. It was nice getting to meet a few of the families. As I was walking back to my car, I was talking with Brittany and apologized for not being more involved, but that my life has just been incredibly busy and will be for the next two months. She mentioned that there are more responsibilities but knew when I accepted this calling that I would need time to work into it. As I left I was grateful she knew that ahead of time. I'm learning what I can and cannot do, what areas I can push and what areas that I am more careful of.

No, I'm not always super woman {not that I really care to be}BUT I'm learning about me. And I've decided it is very important to be aware of my boundaries. Better yet, I don't feel guilty for saying no, sorry that's too much etc. I'm in a better place today for knowing my limits and not pushing them.
