Life and work are kicking my butt these days. I LOVE my career but it can be quite demanding at times-after all, I'm in a service business. So it's often 'work hard, play hard'. This next week will be more 'work hard' as we have a new business pitch coming up so that's always challenging finding extra time to work on accounts you don't even have yet. It is fun though, i love it.
But I still can't help feeling overwhelmed and wishing I had about 10 more hrs in my day just dedicated to keeping in touch with those that are so near and dear to me. I owe some many people phone calls and I'm so behind I almost feel like hitting the reset button, pretend like we having nothing to discuss from the last 2 months, and pick up anew as March 2010. I think part of me gets apprehensive because I know everyone wants to know 'how I'm doing,' and that's such a loaded question that it's often more than I feel like getting into. But I imagine, like everything else, time will make that easier. Things won't seem or feel so overwhelming and my relationships with those around me will be back to just catching up on the simple things in life.
Tonight is session #2 of therapy--gonna keep ripping the band aid off and hope that's helpful. And in between, crank out some work, and find some time to relax. But for now...off to work!

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are taking time to take care of you and attending therapy...it can be very cleansing. Life does get crazy and time is something we seem to lose as we progress in years. You are so good putting pen to paper...I know it's not as personal, but have you considered doing a letter/newsletter to mass mail to those you speak of you haven't connected with lately. Considering your circumstances, I'm sure those that love you will understand this choice; at least you will be staying in touch. Glad you are really digging your feet in the sand in LA...

therapy = best thing ever. enjoy that 1 hour of "you" time when you can just talk and talk. hope it's slowly but steadily getting easier.
