I could have written it myself, but not so eloquently. :)<BR/>I too am a very focused individual and struggle so much to balance all the competing demands on my time. And the reading until 3am and wondering why I'm so grumpy the next day, Amen and Amen! ;)<BR/><BR/>You're not alone! <BR/><BR/>Oh and it's pretty tough to offend me, I don't know how you could. I just neglected to subscribe to this feed or bookmark your site, and I hadn't remembered to check in again. I'm sorry, friend. I've had fun catching up though, and this time I'll put you on my blog reader! :)EEEEMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08152965556780402197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001874016534429126.post-80692670401856156562008-08-01T16:17:00.000-06:002008-08-01T16:17:00.000-06:00...or, pondering further, I guess you could say yo......or, pondering further, I guess you could say you have to lose your life to find it.<BR/><BR/>(Someone MUCH wiser than I am came up with that nugget!)charrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351177033783487168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001874016534429126.post-91320941802083306792008-08-01T16:02:00.000-06:002008-08-01T16:02:00.000-06:00Beautifully stated.

The time elapsed before having realizations like this is immaterial in comparison with what we do with the realization.<BR/><BR/>It's funny how gluttinous we get sometimes. Like if we don't read the book or the blog, or write the post, or do this or that project, the opportunity will be gone forever.<BR/><BR/>The books, blogs, quilts, and yes...even the boogers! Will still be there. We don't have to rush and do it all at once. I think slowing down is a big part of finding that ever elusive balance.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this with us so we can be inspired right along with you!Kimberly Vanderhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653757517652257445noreply@blogger.com
