Dear Reader,
I was waiting for my turn at the longest traffic light in Sarasota. The bumper sticker on the car in front of me read, "Live Simply--so that others might simply live."
It caught my eye because making my life less complicated is one of the things that I'm "simply" working on this year. It would be a real accomplishment if the pages in my calendar were blank for one entire week.
Personally I think my daily routine continues to pick up speed because I've internalized the notion that it's not enough to be just me. I feel the need to keep proving my worth.
I'm talented at multi-tasking, but I'm beginning to realize it's not something to brag about. I eat half of my meals sitting at my desk and it's not unusual to see me standing, balancing a plate in one hand and a book in the other. I'm not sure what the answer is to slowing things down. I'm still trying to figure it out. Maybe if I stop trying so hard the answer will "simply" come my way.
