I can't believe how quickly time goes, and how little of it we actually get. These past few days I was in Utah with my parents visiting my grandma in the hospital. It really made me stop, and think about what things were important in my life.
Yes, blogging is important. If I don't blog every day it will still be here when I come back.
Yes, TPT is important, and a great extra income, but I don't have to post something, update something, or look at it every day.
Yes, IG is FANTASTIC, but I don't have to look at it every day. I might miss any awesome flash freebie, or something fantastic, but it will be okay.
Yes, those piles of papers on my desk should be graded, but if I don't get through all of them today, it will be okay.
Yes, my kids are important!
Yes, my husband is important!
Yes, my family is important!
Yes, life is fragile, and could end much earlier than you want it to. I am really going to work on keeping a balance this year, and making sure that I take time to relax and enjoy. Life is way to short to be stressed out all of the time, and I need to take time to slow down and enjoy my time with my family. Those babies of mine are going to grow up WAY. TOO. QUICKLY!
Sending thoughts and prayers for your grandmother! I'm struggling with the same realization that I can't do everything and do it well! :)
