i get excited about projects, I say ‘yes’ to everything because I genuinely want to do it. But when?

Even writing simple blog posts sometimes seems like a chore. It’s scary when the things you love doing feel that way.

Sometimes I even feel like that about my darling puppy, Spanky 2.0. She just takes up so much of my time and energy that occasionally (i will sheepishly admit) I wonder what my life would be like without her. Of course, then she does something that makes me burst a gut laughing and I realize that my life would be without a lot of joy. But I would have time.

I need to cut back on something. Something big, and not something I enjoy doing. What could it be? I really need to sit down, make a list of the big things in my life and call those people up and say “Sorry. That’s just not getting done. You’ll have to find someone else who is qualified.”

I can’t keep living my life like this. Feeling like I have no room for error. It makes me feel old and like I’m missing out on the important things.
