The Pace....

Do I strive to perfect the busyness of my life? To fill every crevice and moment with sometimes unnecessary things? To check off one thing more from a way too full "To-Do List" and find pride in every accomplishment? This weekend I did not find my peace...I flittered from one project/job/duty to the next, taking small breathers in between. I was scolded and reminded that I was to take it easy, which I did not! Why??? Why do I set a pace that wears me down and keeps me from finding my joy! I need to take a good long look at this situation and seek the answer to my question. I need to take the time to do things that I know are best for me and not waste time on other things that clutter up my life. I have been asking God to bring a special person into my life and yet, my schedule does not even allow for time to nurture and develop that relationship!!! There is something wrong with this action and I need to step in and correct my course to be ready and available for the aha moments when they come. Again being reminded that, the chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want now!
