So many things

So many things I have inherited,
So many half finished projects,
So many memories,
So few times with us together.

I want to complete these,
I want to honor her,
I want to finish the starts.
I want to do it for her.

I have no idea where to begin.
Which quilt?
Which x stitch?
Which scrapbook?
Do I finish her scrapbook?
I do not know.
I know I want to do something.
But where do I start?

I am so overwhelmed.

You may not be able to do them all, in fact you probably won't.

So pick one of each kind of project that looks the most do-able and set that aside. As time allows, pick up one thing and work on it.

Just don't get so overwhelmed with it all that you get stuck in all aspects of your life. That does happen.

Wow. You have me thinking here. Wondering what it is you're finishing. I'm looking back to see what's happened.

My pop passed away 19 years ago. I inherited his love of photography, along with three of his old cameras. I'm finally letting go of one this year, to fund the purchase of a new camera. My mom and I agreed he would have sold it long ago, anyway. For a newer and better camera. But I think of him a lot when I take pictures. All the time, actually.
