you can't be everything to everyone.
i could end on this statement and be done, or explain.
let me explain.
people have needs. different needs for different people. and bottom line is, you can't meet all of those different needs. you can't be everyone's best friend.
all you can do is be real with what you have - real with people, but also real with yourself. if and when you try to do it all (because you probably will at one point or another), you will see that you just can't. you get stretched too thin because of how far you have been spread. it's like people get your left-overs, instead of the main course.
so decide which people in your life get your main course, and which ones are worthy of only left-overs.
you can't be everything to everyone.

entry #6
first post of the new year!
december came and went with not a single post, even though it was filled with holiday fun, including two wonderful Nutcracker shows and the Pikes Peak Center by Colorado Youth Ballet. in addition to dancing the Spanish variation for what i believe to be the 6th year in a row (im getting old and can't remember things as well as i used to), i was a maid in the party scene for the sole purpose of debuting my dog, Maggie. presented to a child at the Christmas Eve party, it's safe to say this little white dog completely stole the show. oh ya... and i learned Rat King the day before the show. needless to say, it was only a little unnerving. but in the end, i think we pulled it all off!
Nutcracker aside, i built the most insane gingerbread house ever with my boyfriend. (he was the one with the real experience, i just did as i was told) we spent close to 15 hours on it... but boy did we have something to show in the end.
as we did last year on Christmas Eve morning, we joined some friends down town at Acacia and shared coffee, breakfast, and clothes with our homeless community. it was a good reminder that the holidays are not just about racking up the gifts and the stuff, but showing people that you care, and more importantly, that God always sees you exactly where you are. (btw... most of the time, the homeless really just wanna share their life story with you, so it's good to just listen)
this holiday season was filled with everything it should be. to sum it up in one word, there was a whole lot of LOVE.
