How do I do it?

I get asked this question a lot even though I don't think what I do on a daily basis is all that much. But today as I was having an holistic evaluation to help me take better care of myself, I actually started to realize what everyone is talking about. It is actually a bit insane how much I decide to take on but I continue to do it. Why? Because I love it! I love my job and enjoy helping others. I love my family and I don't mind being the glue that holds everything together. I also love being creative and I'm so glad that I've found this hobby. So to make it all work I have to skip other things. So I may not remember show and tell at school or ever clean my house, but I always get the important stuff done. I'm working on letting myself off the hook for all of the little things that I don't always get done. Speaking of which, I need to remember to put my taxes in the mail tomorrow, lol! So what do you skip so that you can do the things you love?

Amen sister! That is exactly my philosophy. It took me a LONG time to let the cleaning go, to take a few minutes for creativity or a good book, instead of making sure things were just so. I love it too! Have a GREAT week!

This is all so very true! I skip the cleaning regularly, and I often get asked if I ever sleep. (the truth is not much) but I love what I do. No one ever gets to the end of their life and says DARN, I wish I'd cleaned my house more.
Keep up the Good stuff.
