Do The Things That Matter
It was pretty easy to get sucked into a life of busyness. I tend to say yes a lot more than I say no. I tend to get excited about new things, new possibilities. I really want to do all these things – most of them are fun. But I end up booking my days so tight that it raises my blood pressure just to look at my calendar. I use to love that feeling. The rush of running to each thing, being so involved. I really did love it. I never did question it – until now. I’m tired, teetering on resentful and somewhat feel robbed that my time now belongs to so many people.
I came to this realization the other day- as my kids have grown, so have my activities. We farm, I coach Women in Agriculture, I co-coach basketball, I teach religion classes, we go to almost every game – we are really invested in our children. They are our future and we realize we only have so much time with them. But during this stage I forgot to weed out some of the activities that were no longer serving me and my family.
The big questions:
Why do I do the things I do?
Who do I do them for?
What is the payoff?
I needed to go back to basics again. To invest in a life that matters to me – for me. It’s not easy. But it’s worth it. To start with the things I deeply care about. Making sure I share my love with my family and friends. Making connections and memories – even in the busiest of seasons… doing the things that matter.
