The past few weeks have been rough. Debra and the kids have all taken turns being sick so my workload has been higher than normal. I'm fine with that, but it is making the fact that I am a finite mortal very apparent. I haven't been writing a lot about my personal "quest of intentionality" mostly due to the fact that I haven't made a lot of progress recently. It has been quite discouraging to be honest.
I have been thinking about it some the past few days though and I don't think my priorities have been wrong. I haven't been wasting a lot of time or energy on dumb or even ok things. My familial responsibilities have just been a lot higher. I am unhappy that I have not been making progress on my other priorities, but the things that have been falling off my to-do list have been falling off from the bottom.
Some days I don't make it much past "1. Don't die" but hey, that's good. Life doesn't always allow all of the things we want to do to to get done... like mine, right now. However, how I manage that is important. I am realizing that I need to give myself some slack and allow myself to only get so much done. Seasons come and go and this will get better. So I will do my best to be ok with only hitting my two top to-dos.
1. Don't die
2. Keep everyone else from dying
