Life is a Mudpit

 Here in the southwest it is a time to get outside and enjoy the incredible warmth and vibration of blooming trees and twiterpated animals! Spring is here!  As part of my journey to stay spiritually “grounded” and my journey to “ keep a 3 year old and 1 ½ year old engaged and safe” we decided to dig a mudpit! J 

Okay, I must admit, at first I was at a loss…I had a picture in my head of those big pools of mud you see on TV for crazy obstacle course game shows or big lush pits of nurturing mud for those desiring a nourishing bath in the “black gold.” I looked at my backyard and felt overwhelmed.  Have you ever felt this way?  Like, “why couldn’t I  just wiggle my nose or pull on my ear and have a big ol’ pool of mud appear?” Maybe I watched too much Bewitched as a child?! J 

My point is…okay…well…I ADMIT IT…I just didn’t want to do the work!!!

I struggled with this for about a week (until the pressure of two highly energized little girls finally broke me down) and I realized…I just have to start with putting the shovel in the ground…

so I did.

Next, dig in!  So I did.  Dig a little deeper!  So I did.

Until I realized, I could start by digging a small mudpit and then see how that worked out.  So I did…1.5 ft in diameter and it was brilliant.  The girls loved it!

The next day, I dug a little more…made it a little bit bigger and a little bit deeper.  Then I watched…waited…even more fun! Sweet!  It’s like the energy of that first dig just propelled me forward!

My point  - are you having a hard time getting started on something? Anything?  Maybe it’s something you HAVE to do.  Or maybe something you’ve been putting off for a while, a long while!  Maybe it’s something you just KNOW your heart is calling you to do but you’re scared because you’ve never done it before (this is my first mudpit ;) ) or people will think you’re crazy (again, the mudpit example J).

Try not to get overwhelmed…keep the vision of the “big picture” in your mind and then simply put the shovel in the ground.  If that feels good, dig in!  The rest will practically dig itself!
