We are all busy. Sometimes TOO BUSY. It is Sunday and I am not resting on this day. I have a paper due this week for a class, work to do on a second job, major paperwork to do on a volunteer project...blah, blah, blah. Should I give it something up? Should I learn to say NO more? Who knows...but I honestly think that sometimes, these things are some of that which gives our lives worth and meaning when we look at the bigger picture.
The class I'm taking? Art History - because I like art and I should know more. Enhancing my brain power in the second half of my century of life.
The second job - it's not for the money - yet. I'm just helping out my husband with some things at his job - but the money is nice and he can relax a bit.
And the volunteer project? Preparing for a volunteer mission to work with the Bahamas Methodist Habitat on Eleuthera. Because not everyone in the islands lives in paradise.
So I guess some of this is OK. I look on it all and I see that maybe, despite the stress sometimes, the priorities are in the right place. As long as the busy-ness is for the right reasons.
Oh, and I haven't even addressed the fact that it's two months to Christmas.
