Do you ever feel as if you are running on a treadmill? So much to do, and so little time to do it? Why is it the older you get, the faster time flies? Don't you ever just want to cover your ears, close your eyes, and yell.."STOP! SLOW DOWN!!"
I am tired. I am ready for some time away. I need to refocus.
What is it that can't wait? What HAS to be done? Where do I most want to spend my time? Why do I have to leave home to focus? Has the demands on my time been imposed by ME? I think so....

Anyway, that's my 2 cents from my point of view.
ReplyDeleteWow! I think you are right! Something to look forward to...
