Cheryl Jacqueline: Just start!

Sorry in advance if this post is mentally/emotionally confusing... It is going to be all over the place. Be warned.

Lately I have been thinking a lot. About life in general. About where I am at. And how I wish I could do such and such a thing better. And how I think about how I think about that a lot... and don't do anything about it. I read this post recently. And it was fairly inspiring. I also read this post (Feb. 17). I was also inspired. These are just a couple blogs I follow about people who are just... living out their faith in love. It is definitely true... sometimes all we need to do is get off the couch! (Which is where I happen to spend quite a bit of my time as it is my temporary office for this semester for my practicum, as well as my craft area, as well as my relax are, as well as my eating area... my couch is well loved) But at least it has pretty flowers on it...

It has has got me thinking a lot lately (not my couch... the post about the couch) and seems to be a reocurring theme in random pictures I've seen and such as well. I just have to start. Just do it. Stop thinking about HOW and... do it. We spend an awful lot of time thinking about how to do something, what it would look like if we did it, what we would need to do to do it.... and not a lot of doing. I think its time to start... doing.
Couple areas of my life this is working out well in. Health for one. It has been a solid month and half of consistent healthy eating (well... mostly consistent), and staying active (2-4 times a week of intentional work out time). This has been a huge accomplishment for it. And I have stayed motivated, and have dramatically felt the difference. (A little competition with the bro's maybe helps out a lot in this area). And.. oh... did I mention this... I am ENJOYING it? What? Yeah.
Another area.... getting my craft on... one of those things... I've LOOKED at a LOT of DIY blogs and pictures and tutorials and all that jazz... and THOUGHT about how I just would like to do things like that but NEVER do! So... I just started. More recently. I made things like this...
