Finding balance is not something that I have ever been very good at. Once again, I'm finding my schedule packed, with no time left to breathe.
I'm exhausted. Working full time, raising a baby, and taking classes is more tiring that I ever would have imagined. Everything that I'm doing is fulfilling, everything is ultimately worth so much to me. I'm finding, though, that I need to find some time for myself. I've been spending my days at work, my evenings with my family, and my nights tryingn furiously to study and get the most out of my education. I'm hitting a wall.
Right now, with the cool weather, I'm imagining laying on a beach in the sun with a book that I haven't been assigned. Maybe even a margarita! But I know that isn't going to happen any time soon.
For now, I need to learn how to take a break. Taking one night a week to myself, without doing anything other than what I want to do. I need to refresh and restore myself so that I don't burn out completely and become useless to everyone.
I know that I need to do all of these things. The question is, how? I hope I figure it out soon.
