A Sense of Accomplishment Can Be Worth More than ME Time

Preparing for this month's Fly On the Wall post was painful when I realized I need to get out more! Each day I am consumed with either writing blog posts, creating YouTube videos, writing health-related articles, analyzing health questionnaires for clients, writing newsletters, interviewing one guest a week for my podcast, bookkeeping for our brick and mortar businesses, or teaching on the internet. 

If you haven't checked out my podcast, please do!  (Now in my 8th year!) You will find incredible true stories of people who went from victim to victor and from hopelessness to helping others find hope. Each guest has become successful and many have made huge positive impacts to society. 

It leaves little time for anything else, as my days start at 5:30 AM and run until dinner time. Don't worry, I cook everything from scratch and manage an organized home. 

But who wants to hear about that in a blog post? However, I did travel to my daughter's home to house/dog sit for one week. That was heaven to me. I took my computer with me, set up an office in her dining room, and worked almost 'round the clock. I decided to fast that week so there was no need to cook. I loved it and accomplished more than I would in two weeks if I was at home.

The grands were in Hawaii that week and the pics speak for themselves:

How blessed I am to see the love these two have for each other

  2. What a refreshing post. At the first paragraph, I felt exhausted. And then the grands, oh the grands. I'll be smiling for a while.

  3. Every time I see pics of your grand kids I'm so surprised at how fast they're growing. I know they make you smile, because they make me smile.

  5. One day, I'd like to visit Hawaii. I only have it and Alaska left on my list, but I'm not traveling much these days. Sounds like you're living your best life!

    1. Funny how people are different, isn't it? I have no desire to travel even though I did a lot of it when I was younger. I hope you get to Alaska and Hawaii.
