The pile that never goes away
There isn’t enough time to do all the things I want to do. And then there is all the stuff I’m supposed to do. There isn’t enough time for that either. Sometimes I get bogged down by the fact that I only have this one life and I can’t figure out how I’m going to fit it all in. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way but it’s frustrating nonetheless. There are only like 83 places on my ‘must-see’ list which will only grow when I read the next travel article. This world is fantastic! My ‘make it’ and ‘bake/cook it’ lists are just as long. I want more face time with my relatives and friends and so much more time with my entire little family. How do we deal with these endless hopes and dreams?
I don’t have a perfect solution and there are some days I feel the frustration more than others. I do know I want to live my life in the present instead of always looking ahead, trying to get to the next thing. So, I try to remember I don’t have to and can’t do everything right now, this instant. I can’t even do everything in one day, one week. It will take time to do the things I want to do and I have to be patient and breathe.
I get to live this wonderful life and for that I’m deeply grateful.
