Life is about to get busy again….very busy.  I welcome it, but I also fear it and am doing my best to avoid the inevitable.  So here I sit searching the web, getting hooked on Pin Interest and signing up to participate in more reviews and giveaways.  Is it denial?  Avoidance?  Procrastination?  Or simply a way to process the looming weeks/months ahead and carve out a little room for myself along the way?

I have taken on the challenge of teaching not one, but three classes this semester at Salem State University, that combined with my string of other part-time jobs and my business oh yah and family and friends should keep this go-getta” nice and busy, or busy and something. Classes start on Wednesday and I still have many things to do to prepare… I also have a presentation this week for my business..oh and a list of other things.

Breathe I remind myself, you just have to worry about today.

Tonight I will clean, watch silly TV and just enjoy the calm of candles and a glass of wine.  Tomorrow I will work hard and prepare, and like I always do I will make it through the day, the presentation, the meeting, the class, the intervention, the supervision… oh yah I forgot one more thing the licensing test prep-ahhhhhhhhhhhhh… NO WAIT….

Breathe I remind myself, you just have to worry about today.

I can see myself using this mantra quite a bit in the next few months to get me through the days.

My goal is to work hard so I can play hard this summer.  The goal is to have a three day work week in the summer and enjoy the lazy warm days.  To do this I am going to take on a busier schedule during the Fall and Winter and we will see about the Spring.

So tonight I will enjoy the calm and return to my happy pace, before I know it the storm will be here beating at my window and I’ll be in a different more hardened place.

Summer is in how many days?
