Living a life that's Wirth it.

I often think of the book “If you Give a Mouse a Cookie” by Laura Numeroff. It seems to be the story of my life. Whenever I experience imposter syndrome about having ADHD, I just have to look around my house to remember it is real.

Right now, I am typing this blog about 2 hours later than I intended because when I logged in to write, I found where I could redesign my site. When you ask a girl to blog, she will want to redesign the site.

I am also sitting here with half painted walls, half unpacked bags, half washed laundry, half unloaded dishwasher, half landscaped yard. Every time I start something I think of something else I need to do, or want to do, and just like our little mouse, I scurry on to find the cheese.

I am working through the frustration with myself, trying to honor the creativity and skill. I built a fence, planned out my landscaping, painted my living room, wallpapered my bedroom and living room, ripped up carpet, and started a backsplash in my kitchen. As I have worked on starting each of these projects, I have begun to feel proud of what I can do. So, do I focus on the done list or the un-done list?

I have spent my whole life beating myself up for all the things I can’t do. All the things I don’t get done. All the things I start and never finish. I wonder what will happen as I begin to honor the things I am able to do?
