...sheesh! can a girl catch a break? it's like i've been pounded with work and can't seem to dig myself out. such a sucky feeling!
...new goal for summer/fall 2006 -- declutter my life.
phase 1: reduce evening activities.

1. daily devotional -- more personal time with God in study and prayer
2. go to gym 5-6x's per week
3. back to 50 book reading goal -- i'm way behind but i'd like to see how close i can still get
4. bed by 11, up by 7

so ambitious! i need to work on getting up early as well.
Wanna help me with Phase 3 some night at casa de shane? It needs it. Did you hear about the guy who sold everything he owned on ebay? If I had the time, that'd be really tempting.
Bed by 11? Anymore that's a late night for me.
I hear ya, girl. Where has the year gone? Life is way too complicated and even social life becomes demanding when there are multiple choices of ways to go.
Hey denise here - I like Apocalyptica - they rock! Literally!
Your life sounds like mine - I'm working on the whole slow-down movement - moved into a smaller house, only took one class for summer, stopping making so many social engagements, not so many plans, and picking up my feng shui book and unpacking - which I will be doing all day tomorrow.
It's hard to slow the pace down, but my dog is happier when I'm home and so is Jason!
We moved closer to shopping and the freeway, which cuts down on our driving time to get to work and allows us more time to sleep
We ride our bikes at least once a week to a late dinner or lunch at the nearby salad place
It's just a huge commitment to NOT TAX YOURSELF SO MUCH just because you want to do do do, doesn't mean you should push yourself to exhaustion. Life is fast, but it is also long, and from what I have learned, you have a lot of getting to know yourself to do and you will always be soul searching, you will always be working on your relationship with God, the benefit of aging is that these things just improve with time!
It appears that you are doing very very well for yourself - your life seems to be filled with busy-ness but joy as well, and for that, you must be grateful, which I'm sure you are.
You were always super smart and beautiful, a deadly combination. Just take the time for YOU and GOD and things will be JUST FINE!
YOU ROCK!
