Margins

The two needles that broke the camel's back rolled into my life today and I called a friend in tears. We talked for a bit and then I took a hot shower, deleted old text messages, and did my homework for the mystics class. I felt a bit better but the problems didn't go away. Darn.

The biggest issue is me. I overbook myself and don't leave any margins in my life. Thus, I have my HAVE TO get done today list and the REALLY NEED to get done list that only sometimes gets done. Thus when these other things come up, they push me over the edge for a bit and I have to let myself break then I pick myself up and figure out what I need to do. Just one of those days when I want to go back twenty-five years, cuddle in my mother's lap and hear her say everything is going to be all right.

Moral of the story: Give yourself margins in your life. Time for YOU. You'll need it.

Speaking of lack of margins, I'm in a bridal fashion show at the fairgrounds in Salem this weekend. It's in the Jackman Long Building at 12:30 and 3 on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $7 to the bridal show though I may have a free ticket or two to give out. The two dresses I get to wear are BEAUTIFUL!

I am also dancing in a show at the Elsinore Theatre Saturday night. We are the last act in a fund raiser variety show. Should be fun, show is at 8 and tickets cost $15.
