Pat on the Back

I have been pretty hard on myself lately, so it's time I give myself a pat on the back. Feelings of inadequacy have taken over my life between worrying about whether I will be a good mom, teaching a sub par lesson in Relief Society, not being able to sew or make a darn thing for my future child, not having the desire or energy to cook, and therefore being left with the wonderment of what on earth my talents are! Oddly enough I rediscovered one talent I have this last week and that is to do simple canvas drawings. (Note the emphasis on the word simple.) One of my co-workers had her first son a year ago in January and over lunch was venting that she has not been able to do any wall hangings for his nursery. I told her about how I did some canvases for my sister's twins, so she asked if I could do that for her son. Now that I am off track, I finally got around to painting them, and it was a fun and fulfilling experience.
