Life in the Fast Lane

Life In the Fast Lane - The Eagles

That's exactly where I feel I've been in the past couple months.   Just six months ago I returned to work from year long medical leave.   I started out what I thought was a slow pace only to have the accelerator quickly weighted down for the long haul.   Once I jumped into that trap, it was hard to shut down.  One thing piled on top of another.

The biggest problem was work.   It was getting in my way.   I had this wonderful year off -well wonderful to a degree when you are hooked up to an iv every week but I had been off long enough to get into a routine, and find my rhythm.   How do I fit full-time work into an already full day?  Something has got to give or 'surely makes you lose your mind.'

My solution is to rebalance and talk it out -a lot!!!   Thank you to all those friends and family who heard me whine and complain over the past few months.  With your help as my sounding board I'm slowly finding my way to rebalance my life.  

I can also see now how self absorbed I was.  Hey, I've got it pretty good so really shouldn't be complaining at all.  Again, a sure sign that I was out of unbalance and had my priorities all twisted.

I'm now keeping the pace at a more manageable level and enjoying the chance to check out the scenery along the way.
