With a sewing project, we start out with an idea, or a pattern... a specific goal.   And then we get the supplies we need... and get to work and make the dress, or curtain, or doll, or quilt.   

Unfortunately, putting the pattern of our life together isn't quite that simple and easy.  We can't always control what comes into our lives...or the pattern in life we are given to work with... like the weather, or our health.  

Yet, over the years we still gather bits and pieces of 'supplies' that we are able to chooose to work with and are able control what we make out of them.   Yet years later.. we look and find nothing put together, nothing finished, nothing accomplished.

These supplies are things like our own thoughts, ideas, desires, likes and dislikes, talents, abilities. We can live with them for years, not paying any attention to them., and not having any idea what to do with them.   They go unused. 

Sometimes we might start collecting the life supplies of other peoples ideas and needs and wants.. and we get so busy helping them live their life that our pieces of our "self", our own ideas, dreams, goals, and wants... remain scattered in piles and bits and pieces... unfinished, incomplete.     

I find myself doing this... too often.   I wake up wondering.. "how did I get to this place in my life?... why am I here?"

I need and want to start putting my life together.. one piece at a time... one day at a time.   I want to start remembering to ask myself... "What do I want?".... and then I want to do the things that will get me those things that my inner heart and soul tells me to seek.

I'd like to do it on here, and I'd like to invite you to take the same journey for yourself.   

Would you like to join me in this quest.. of taking time to look inside yourself as you greet the day.. and asking of yourself.. "What do I want today?" 

Each day is a new opportunity to take a look inside our heart and soul and seek self-fulfillment by asking ourselves of the day we about to live.. "What do I want today?" 

Do you want to clean out that kitchen drawer?  Do you want to give yourself a relaxing bubble bath?   Do you want to bring more serenity to your life...by spending 15 minutes listening to the birds or watching the clouds float across a blue sky?   Do you want to work towards finishing a sewing project?   Do you want to add beauty to the world by planting new flowers?   Do you want to change something personal about yourself?.. an attitude, a habit...?  Do you want to get involved in reaching out to other people in some way... making the world a better place in whatever way you are able?

For some things, it may take days, weeks or months for the choices to come to pass.  

Just knowing the right direction to point our daily activities is the fist step in accomplishing a goal.  We have to get through today to get to tomorrow. 

There are many ways and areas we can control both our self and our day, and choose to do the things we want... things birthed from in our heart.
