it's easier once you stop trying
to be more than
what time or energy permits you to be
not to mention abilities or the lack therof,
financial or otherwise

then suddenly you feel wise,
know you've done the best you could,
and it's easier once you stop trying
to be more than
your
self

How true this is Kacy!

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

Oh Kacy, have you really found the how? I sometimes wonder where to stop and where to begin. Do demands fall to us or do we make them up ourselves? Life seems so full and to try to do it all means we can do nothing to our best, a hug, a note, whatever seems needed. It all seems to be a touch here a swipe there and on to the next.. Please tell me the ways if you have truly found them.. best to you, martyjo

smiling at you martyjo
some days, I feel I know
and others, I struggle

but am currently reading
The Art of Happiness,
by his holiness
the Dalai Lama
and it helps
center me

I like this. Its funny because it reminds me of my first job. An ice cream shop that had lines out the door. Being a young girl wanting to do everything right, please everyone, I would work myself till I wanted to collapse. It wasn't until about a year of working that way I learned....You are only one person, you can only do so much, people will wait, time will pass, your job will be done eventually. I've carried that along with me ever since. So I enjoyed this write very much. Sorry to share such a blah blah story.
Such true words.

Marvelous message and so true. I used to be the burn out queen and finally learned not to do that anymore.

Thanks for writing this!
