Time has not been kind to me lately. There just doesn’t seem to be enough of it. My hours are too short, my days are too short, my weeks are too short.
Things at work have been crazy. Crazy in a challenging way which is good but it’s bordering on overwhelming and I have to keep telling myself to focus on what matters and either delegate or let go of the rest (not an easy task for this micro-manager). And as I’m sitting here thinking about that I’m realizing the my job pretty much mirrors my life.
My life is so full right now that I feel very lucky. But it’s too full and I have to find a way to weed out what doesn’t matter and let it go. I need to focus on what matters and do that well because when I’m stretched this thin I feel like I’m not doing anything well and everyone is losing.
So blogging has been relegated to a lesser priority. I’m not gone, I’m just not here as often — I won’t promise that will change but as I put some balance back into my life I hope it does. This has been a wonderful outlet for me and has helped me in ways I never imagined.
And what about the walk? Well I’m powering through. We had a nice easy weekend on the training schedule but the miles spike this coming week. Scheduling time for these longer walks is proving quite challenging but this is one thing I’m not willing to compromise on.
I’ve raised over $4200 to date. I am less than $300 away from my goal of raising $4600 for breast cancer research. This is a number I did not even imagine when I first set out on this journey. I’m floored. And I’m touched by the generosity of so many and how many people have shared how breast cancer has affected their lives.
