We are going on vacation—and boy, am I looking forward to it! Even so, I seem stalled in planning the details. We are going someplace entirely new to us. I am so visual, that not being able to picture things is really hampering me.
As the day for our departure nears, I fear we will end up doing nothing!
Isn’t that the way? Or is it just me? Do big dreams without the details leave you frozen? I find I do this with school, Bible studies, local recreation, you name it. I want to do so much and the volume of it all overwhelms me. I end up just kicking myself for doing nothing at all.
I think my kids suffer from the same problem. Have you ever watched your kids try to clean a destroyed room? Or tackle a full math page? Or a blindingly empty writing page? My son likes to write books. Some he has completed, but he has many undone. There is a whole list of scenarios unexplored; I think it is because there is a whole list of scenarios unexplored!
It seems the endless opportunities that limit action. What can I do to save my kids from becoming petrified people, frozen b y choices? I think the key is to limit distraction and teach that baby steps actually do get us somewhere.
I guess I could also serve as a better role model! So I am off to put together a bit of a plan. Any suggestions for visiting the North California and South Oregon coasts?
