Anyone else feel like they aren't able to be successful at all the roles they fill? I feel like I can be a successful student OR get my sleep and take care of myself. I can spend time with friends OR take a couple hours to study for that quiz. I can have my house clean, laundry done, and meals prepared OR take some much-needed time to spend with my husband. Get to bed at a semi-reasonable hour OR take the time to have personal time with God. There's so many things I need to fit in, WANT to fit in, and I feel like I can't give any one area of my life enough time...... Does life ever slow down??

Letter to Me

It's a bit strange, but of late I have enjoyed listening to some country music. I know. I'm surprised too. It used to be on the same list as rap for me. But I can appreciate some of it now.

One of my favorite artists is Brad Paisley. Today I was listening to one of his songs on Pandora.com called "Letter to Me". If you haven't heard it before I encourage you to- it has lots of good things to think about.

As I listened to the song, I wondered what my future self would be telling me now to put things into perspective and share little bits about my future. Worry less. Embrace family. Don't stress so much. Take the time for those you love. What my kids look like. What job I'll have. When we'll build our dream house.

It's kinda fun to think about. :)
