Things have been very chaotic the last 2 months and I did something very uncharacteristic last week, I took a vacation. That may not seem like it is that big of a deal, but this is the first vacation that I have taken since working at Amazon 4 years ago. I needed to try and get my head strait on a lot of things especially work. But something that I have come to realize is that also because of work, I have not been as active in things that use to mean the world to me, and I want to get back to that. Saturday was the breast cancer walk here in Indianapolis, and I didn't realize it until I saw it on the news to see that I had lost touch with it. I have been as active as possible with things like the tour de cure for diabetes, the 3 day, the October walk, in the past, but this year, I have been far to consumed by small things and work. I don't even have my hockey to fall back to and give myself some much needed relief from the stress of life. I need to get back to that. In the past year, I have tried to be as active as I can, even trying to get a LBGT presence in the gay pride parade for next year for Indy. That has even stalled and I have not been able to dedicate the time to it that I had hoped. All this needs to change. I want my life back and to not be consumed by the small anchors that are dragging me down. here is to hoping that I can get this together.

I feel you my friend. Work has me tied to along with child bearing and my rituals to help others. Many times I do not realize how much I do for others, and leave no time for myself. So, feeling overwhelmed is natural. I meditate twice a day in the morning and at night. It really helps. I will send you an e-mail asap with some remedies my friend. Hold your head up you will get through this.
