points to ponder
My own schedule is hard enough to keep up with.
Every time I call my friend M, this is how it begins: Where are you? (I'm usually driving.) You always have to be coming from somewhere and then going somewhere else, you're never steady at one place!"
I keep busy, I enjoy it, it's that time of my life.
I was catching up on blogs today, and these women called my attention: while reading them talk about juggling schedules makes me feel good that that quirk about my schedule makes me not particularly unique, it also makes me think - these women are mothers, busy ones who have their own lives outsideof their families; am I even cut out for a future with their kind of life?
"I need to remind myself to take advantage of my flexible schedule and not put so much stock on productivity every single day. I've gotten better about that."
"Only boring people get bored."
~ Jenny Rosenstrach, blogger at Dinner, A Love Story
"At the office, our days are packed with meetings--fun ones! Meetings with investors, designers, potential hires, and other companies. Our office has a bunch of sofa "pods" and we have lots of meetings, calls, naps in the pods. It's the office equivalent of a womb.
In between, I email and email and email. Sometimes I think that all I do is email."

"I'm a much more pleasant person to be around (and more creative) when I do things for myself.
~ Elizabeth Antonia, blogger at The Littlest"
Something happened today that made me realize - there are so many other things I have to focus on. I am bigger than that. :)
And because I have to keep reminding myself about the good things, I'm noting books I want to read next:
- Cooking for Mr. Latte
- The Accidental Creative
- Anna Karenina, because I finally got my own copy
Let's all please have a good week. :) I'll be travelling.
