Busy busy busy

We're all so busy ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I think I fight being busy. I avoid commitments so I don't overload my schedule (or myself). I have learned lessons on boundaries and that is one of my personal boundaries I am pretty aware of. I'm not saying I'm always right to shy away from commitments, but I am glad that I no longer jam pack my life with so many activities that I am never home or forget what's really important. it's easy to lose sight of important things that are right in your face when you're always looking towards what's next on the to-do list. More of us should include quiet or down time on our to-do list. I know I do.

What the funk?

I've been in such a funk lately. I feel like I'm pms-ing but it's weeks too early. Just feeling low but with emotional volatility....kinda like a bipolar person I guess. (No, I don't think I'm bipolar.) Anyways, just all this has me clinging to God and the Word because I would be a terrible mother and wife without that support.

Doing lots of reflecting tonight and here is a rant that went on in my head as I ate my midnight snack...


So many people want advice from someone who has "been there" or is in the same situation they are in. Maybe it's a good idea to hear from people who were able to make choices to avoid your situation. Hmmm, maybe! Just because I'm not in your current situation doesn't mean that I didn't walk that line or even make most of the same choices. If 3 people step on the same crack, and 2 of them trip but only one of them doesn't trip, wouldn't you wanna get advice from the one who didn't trip rather than the one who tripped just like you? Not that people in your same situation can't offer valuable encouragement and personal experience - they can - but you can't live as if you're the only ones who understand. It's such as excuse to be angry or isolate yourself.

Says I.
