http://www.daringyoungmom.com/2012/12/19/drops-of-awesome/ - link for a blurb that was referenced in church yesterday. I taught about reaching your divine potential as a daughter of God. I never realized before how stressed out I get with teaching until someone brings it up. The entire day I was dreading the experience because I feel so scatterbrained when I talk. I always wonder if I get a point across...sometimes I leave the room and wonder, "what did I just talk about?"
I don't appreciate it when I can see people chatting among themselves while I'm talking. I really hate dragging people into discussions when the answers seem so simple and repetitive. After one sister stood up and made a comment about not beating ourselves (mothers/sisters) up, I felt a little better. I was prepared for my lesson (despite my habit of changing everything last minute), I didn't make it a read-a-thon, and I encouraged the sisters to talk with one another. I think teaching is hard. It's overwhelming and you want to say things that will inspire the listeners without putting them to sleep. I always have to remind myself that if I have high expectations of my listeners I should live up to them as well.Yes I am the chatterbox of the century. This is probably why I notice it when other people do it:D
I don't think I have ever been one to bother over new year's resolutions. I spend so much time every other week trying to set goals (that often get forgotten after two days) that January is just a month to catch up on sleep and purge my body of its sugar overload. That being said I'm going to get back on track with my good habits that were killed when I got sick and the holidays overtook my life....woot woot. There really aren't enough hours in a day to accomadate my procrastination and low-sleep nights. That's OK. I'm coming to terms with it.
Our holidays this year were really fun and I'm excited to add one more body next year. Pictures to come, even though I didn't go crazy with my camera. Two more weeks and there will be a gender posting:D
Happy New Year:D
