My friend Carolyn came up with a great analogy to describe my life these days. She said I am living my life on a cookie treadmill set at the highest setting and I cannot get off. Sometimes I do feel like I am running in place trying to accomplish something wonderful, but never quite getting there. I get frustrated that living the part of my life that brings me such joy is mostly spent on the brink of exhaustion. I question my sanity for going day after day on 3-5 hours of sleep. And then a day like today comes along and all is forgotten. All the motivation I need to keep going is found in the chocolate smiles of a little boy or the childish grins of a couple in their golden years enjoying a Heartsong treat.
Many hugs,
Kathy
