There have been times when illness (mine, the kids’ or both) has brought me to a complete standstill. Sometimes I have rushed back into things when I shouldn’t have because I felt “well enough”. Now I’m looking around and wondering if there are projects I need to scale back or re-prioritize. Or de-prioritize.
I know what you mean. I am in the at place now. I try to do it all, but I have to face the fact that I am not an energetic 20 year old anymore doing this that and the other. Even then I was knocked back to earth with illness…seems to be the only way I slow down.
It’s hard, especially with the way we look at things in our society. We’re all about getting everything done and planned without a balanced view of what may be healthy for us in the long run.
