Bolting the door on busy

Life some times can be super busy and often like I feel like I’m juggling more things than I can handle.

With getting up early to read board minutes/agendas, preparing for meetings, attending meetings, studying for a MOOC, completing pre-reading for leadership course and a community project while holding down a fulltime day job can be rewarding, time to relax also needs to be scheduled.

Burning the candle at both ends can be worthwhile but there has to times when I have to stop and recharge those batteries for me to handle these competing priorities.

This weekend was perfect.  It was so chilled and relaxed!

I got to sleep in, read for pleasure and take my time doing things that I don’t normally have time for. I got to take stock and reassess what I’m doing.   

I've been enjoying great music and some Salman Rushdie as well as lots of cups of coffee.

I love my life right now, it is so challenging and so interesting but it is hard work. But by having a weekend which focused on chillin’ was the perfect anecdote to a busy life.
