I am drowning in an abundance of riches.
I know of no other way to describe my life right now.
It seems like that would be a good thing, right? But I’m actually being serious. I’m so busy doing the things I love to do that I don’t have time to sit back and just enjoy them. I’m too damned tired to smell the roses.
I’ve always been like this. I go balls out when I find something I enjoy. I remind myself of a comet entering Earth’s atmosphere, all bright light and burning embers, only to fall to the Earth as little chunks of spent chemicals. Something in my genetic makeup that makes me do this, and all the logic in the world doesn’t change it.
I’m easily twice as busy today as when I semi-retired eight years ago. In truth, I can’t imagine what retirement looks like. It doesn’t register with me, like a foreign concept which will forever be too complicated for me to grasp.
But right now I have definitely overdone it! I need to cut back a bit, and just writing those words fills me with dread. What do I cut back on? Do I spend less time with the birds? I love raising them.
Do I spend less time with our puppy Maggie? No chance!
Do I spend less time with the farmers market duties? But I love that part of my life.
Do I spend less time writing? I would rather cut off my arm!
See? A dilemma for sure!
I’ll figure it out. I always do. A natural balance will, eventually, happen, if I’m willing to just get out of my own way and allow it to happen.
I’m sure it’s just me, right? We always think we are unique in our problems, in our thoughts, in life in general, so I’m sure none of you have had a similar experience. Lol So don’t mind me while I voice my thoughts to the random universe.
SPEAKING OF RANDOM
Did you grow up thinking you were going to change the world? I did!
How’s that working out for you?
Truthfully we all affect our immediate environment/universe, don’t we? Our very existence causes a ripple effect which touches countless others, so thinking we are going to change the world is, in fact, a cinch!
But if you want to throw a monkey-wrench into the situation, add the words “positively or negatively” to that question . . . are you changing the world positively or negatively?
Just something to think about . . . have a stupendous day!
Stupendous does not sound like the word it is, does it? Sounds too much like stupid . . . sigh!
