many hats


wearing many hats can become overwhelming -
among my hats are
wife, preacher's wife!,
mother,daughter,sister,friend,
disciple of Christ, teacher, leader,
photographer, artist, writer of poems,
mediator, mentor, mentee,
chef, cancer survivor, accountability partner...etc. etc. etc.

How can we juggle all these hats we must wear?
should we trash some of them, stack them upon each other?

my answer - what i have learned to do
(although i forget to at times) is to Focus.
focus focus focus.

be totally present at the moment.

i can have it all - just not all at once.

i love my many hats.

I love this:

"focus focus focus.

Thanks Jaki!! Sometimes I think my hats fall in my face and I can't even see what I should be focusing on! One hat at a time would be much simpler!! :)
