Sitting down to digital pen and page I try to think about the things that overwhelm me Right at the top of the list in big bold letters it says –WORK– Just underneath in bolder brighter letters still I refine that one word concept a little more succinctly as if that were possible into –OBLIGATIONS– And there lies the bane of my existence The little engine that demands it can until it gets so overwhelmed that it sputters out black smoke signals of sorrow at all the things I have to miss because of the billions of events that are my duty to perform.
Thanks everyone, but I have no time for vacations. I travel way too much for work.
Usually by the time I finish the first six months of the year all I can dream of is staying home. Plus whenever I take a vacation it makes me feel guilty. I travel so much on business that I just don't have the heart to leave my secretaries alone for a vacation.
Life's obligations truly can be almost insurmountable some times. Might be time for a short break to stop and smell the roses.
Love the graphic!

Work, Work, WORK, that word must be reported to Matt, you can't use such language as the four letter word W**K. What is the world coming too.

Sara, The last time I felt like this was in '99, woke up in ICU fourteen days after admittance. Until then I honestly thought I was unstoppable.
I suggest that you step back, take an extended vacation, and relax a while.
It would hurt my feelings terribly if one I know had to learn the same lesson in the same manner I did.
I'll be praying for you my Friend.
You express very well the frustrations of demands upon oneself, Sara. Thank you. Love, peace, and strength to you. Regis

I hear you, Sarah, wish that everyone could be like my wife, she just takes a nap. It the problem or obligation is still around when she wakes up, she thinks about it. Takes another nap. Wakes up. Th9inks. Soon, the problem throws up its hands and give up. Of course, I'm one problem that won't go away. LOL
In a post-coup America, an Illinois farm boy is drawn into the resistance by his brother's death. Captured, he is given a choice: betray his friends, or the girl he loves will be lobotomized.
Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.

Nice work.

I am a slave to obligations. Ergo...
Thanks everyone.
