Too Busy

I’ve been super busy the past week. Getting the place ready for my uncle, Christmas, teaching yoga, picking up my uncle, hanging out with family…the list goes on.

I’ve been busy. Too busy, in fact, to do the things I need to do: work on my resume, apply for jobs, and making kombucha, kefir, and ghee.

Yet these are the things that are important to me. They are the things I need to do, so instead I use my social engagements as excuses to not complete them. Instead I lie to myself that I’m busy, too busy to do them.

Okay, I see the pattern now. Time to either complete them, or drop them (along with their associated guilt).

I’m grateful for:

  1. Introspective conversations with Phoebe. It’s always nice to have a tiger mom ready to fire her opinion whenever, wherever.
  2. Yummy yogurt my uncle bought. With probiotics!
  3. My iPhone is well designed. I’ve decided to stop obscuring it with a case, which makes it both ugly and uncomfortable. This has the added benefit of forcing me to be mindful when using it.
  4. My knee, which hurts right now, but which has given much service over the years. Snowboarding accidents, running, and poor yoga postures have no doubt weakened it. Hang in there, old pal.
  5. My neck, which hurt during yoga today, but which has given much service over the years. My Nintendo DS Lite and countless hours spent hunched behind a monitor have no doubt weakeend it. Hang in there, old pal.
