Little by Little
I turned to Leland over the weekend and said, "I finally feel like were married." It has taken about four weeks, but I finally feel like my place is our place and my space is our space. It's still a little difficult for me to say our apartment because I was so use to saying my apartment, but little by little it's getting easier. It's all about baby steps. I still introduce myself by my maiden name and it's still weird to hear my married name, but it's getting easier little by little, baby steps. This year is going to be taking things by baby steps. I usually take everything head on and I get frustrated when I don't get it right the first time, so this year, it's all about taking baby steps. If I want to improve and do my best I have to take things slowly and a little at a time. I think this is going to be the hardest for me though. How do I learn to take things a little at a time? I just want to take everything in at one time. Adjustments, to me, should be quick. I always prided myself on how adaptable I have been in all situations I have before me. As I am getting older I am realizing that I am not so adaptable anymore. I have started to become stuck in my ways, or so it seems. It's just taking longer for me to adapt. Are these baby steps I am taking or is it that I just don't change as quickly as I use to? If theye are baby steps, then maybe I do know how to take things little by little already. I guess I will just have to figure that all out on my own.

Know what, Katie? This sounds like an excellent plan. It also sounds like you just watched one of my all time favorite movies: "What About Bob?"
During the intial interview for the job I recently attained, I was asked something about setting goals and getting things done (don't remember the exact questions). In my answer, I actually talked about baby steps. I said you just keep getting things done little by little. You set your mind on a larger goal, but break it into baby steps. The more steps you accomplish, the more it encourages you to continue forward to the larger goal. This also keeps you from getting stuck...always perpetual motion. I told him it was like the movie "What About Bob?" I can't believe I mentioned a bit of pop culture during my interview, but I thought it illustrated my point so well. It apparently wasn't a bad thing to do, either, because I did land the job after all.
Baby steps lead to the greatest steps. Good job, Katie!
(I really hope my comments don't annoy you. I enjoy reading your blog and learning your outlook on life.)
