I often see a line on Facebook that says adulthood is saying that after this very busy week or month, things should smooth out, over and over again forever. I know I feel that way lots of times, fall in particular is always busy as things have been postponed from summer and conferences ramp up. It is difficult sometimes to figure out the way forward with so many pressing demands. I often have to tell myself to do what I can reach, to plan ahead, to do what I can reach next. It is so easy to get overwhelmed with our calendars, errands, the appointments of family, and all the tasks. I love a good to do list, in fact, sometimes I feel better once I have crafted a good one so that I can start to see all the things I can reach. What tools do you use to keep on track? It seems like it piles on and on, and then on top of that we are reminded to take care of ourselves and seek balance. Here is what I am thinking about today. This is all a great amount of pressure, do a good job, get it all done, be a great person, stay hydrated and find your personal Zen and growth potential. That is a tall order. For today, lets just do the next thing, the thing that we can reach, the thing that is in front of us, and once that is completed we can look at what’s next. This is not a race or competition, its just life, and its often busy, but it is also full of wonder and challenge, and it is probably not slowing down next week either.
