The story of me

The title of a blog says so much about the blogger. At least, it should. So, for a couple of weeks, I have been kicking around names for this new blog, names such as "Distractable Molly" and "Intentional Living". These two names are telling in that the first describes where I am, the second where I want to be. I wanted something not too serious, but not too sarcastic, either.

When it came down to it, there is probably no better way to sum up where I am and what my daily struggle looks like than "Have you seen my glasses?". You can, of course, substitute many things for glasses: keys, wallet, cell phone, etc. Yes, I am an organizational mess!

So, why a new blog?

We are all on a journey. As a Catholic, I know what I want my final destination to be. It's not about this world, it's about getting to Heaven. It is so easy to lose sight of this fact as I just try to get through the day getting everyone fed, clothes washed, and maybe the house just a little better than when I started the day.

My hope for this blog is to share this journey. I am trying daily to get a little more organized, a little more holy, and a little more joyful. I want to come here to talk, to whine, to share ideas and to chronicle my progress (hopefully). I want to share my thoughts, as random and sometimes jumbled as they may be. I want to share my great finds and give encouragement to those who
might share some of my struggles.

Most of all, I want to take the time to look intentionally at my life, to measure what I am doing and why, and to renew each day the commitment to do better.

Care to join me? I hope so. By the way, I lost my glasses last week, so we don't need to look for them today. ;-)
