catching up, getting ahead.

chloe – 9 may 2015

As I struggle to catch up and get ahead in preparation for my busier than usual week ahead, I watch outside my windows the people who embracing life. They aren’t home doing chores, crossing things of to-do lists. Either they are ahead, or are falling behind, or don’t have lists like mine. I’m jealous.

How do I fall behind? Why do I need to get ahead? Why is my list so long? Is it filled with important things or things that simply make me feel important?

These are the questions I’ve been thinking about for a couple of years and hope to explore a bit more in my “Thrive” class. What is it I want to do? Are they *really* the things I want, or are they things I’m told to want? How do I get there?

In the meantime, I’ll enjoy the things I create and the things I maintain until I’m willing to say “That’s enough.”
