I look around and I see lots of unfinished projects lying around – a crocheted toy for my baby, a pile of paper with three different concepts for blog re-design, a sketch of a logo for an ebook I haven’t started writing yet, a submarine out of milk bottle that we’ve been making with my kids…
A couple of weeks ago I would have been frustrated with myself for not finishing anything. But then a couple of weeks ago I didn’t have any unfinished projects. Because I hadn’t started anything.
Today I choose to see my projects not as unfinished but as half-finished. As evidence that when you make baby steps things start happening, and a lot quicker than waiting for the right time to take a giant leap.

Hi, I'm Tat. I believe that through motherhood we're given another chance to find ourselves, grow and shine. I have three beautiful children and I learn a lot from them every day. This year I'm searching for ease in everything I do.
Oh I love this Tat! If I think like you than I have accomplished quite a lot – I feel rather good about the unfinished projects I am working on at the moment, and all that I have already achieved! Thank you. Great post xx

Great, positive post! I have so many unfinished projects, lets just say it reflects alot of enthusiasm, and its really about the journey, not the destination isn’t it:-)
Absolutely love this perspective – like the person who got off the couch who is technically running laps around the people still sitting there – you have started wonderful things and i am sure some will get finished when you are able and ready! xx

Love your new photo, Deb, you look so happy!
I’ll have to remember that when I’m feeling frustrated.

So true! A half-finished project means at least you began and that’s a big deal for a lot of the stuff I haven’t even started around here!

Yes, I think this is the perfect way to look at half-finished projects! You’ve got them under way and that’s a huge thing. I love having lots of things on the go at once xx

Oh, I like that – half finished. I have a several of those right now. However, lately I just don’t care. I would rather snuggle my little ones than invest too much time in little gifts that they will enjoy for a while but the snuggles and playing they will remember forever.

So true! That’s exactly why I don’t have that many finished projects at the moment (actually can’t think of any)… Thanks for reminding me snuggles and play matter.
Love this, Tat. I tend towards seeing the glass half empty and often get overwhelmed by the size of a project that I procrastinate indefinitely. I need to start more things and see where they lead me!
