Hopefully, My Last Ramble for a Bit

My plate is officially full ... for now. 

That revelation feels good. Doors are closed, waitlist only. 

I took on a chunk of pie last night helping with our homeless initiative -- one woman in particular that I brought to a hotel on Sunday. 

I have a balance that feels right. 

I'm focusing on the things I've said 'yes' to and making sure to give them time and attention. 

Focusing on the doing.

Why is this a revelation?

It's taking non-action things off my plate -- like meetings about potential things on the horizon. Meetings about what's been happening. Essentially, busy-work. I know that the meetings serve a purpose, etc. but since I'm not taking on anything more right now, they're not the best use of my time.

I need THAT time to regroup and take care of myself. Have fun. Laugh. Garden. Rock paint. See friends. Happy things. AND put effort into the things I'm DOING on the volunteer and activism front. 

I needed a boundary.

But I didn't realize I needed a boundary until this thought came to me last night. 

Yes.

This is feels so much better.

And I really like where I'm putting my time. 

It's things that are making a difference to people. 

Worthwhile. 

Community.

Hard things.

It feels like a relief AND an energy burst. Focus, balance. 

What's today?

Acupuncture for my foot. Fingers crossed.

Then an afternoon re-writing the court report -- things have sadly changed since last week. I spent hours on this family's situation last night. Up until 9 o'clock working. Phone calls, emails, etc. More of this today. As a collective, I hope we can get the family help. 

Maybe (and hopefully) a little time to check out the new coffee shop and a library stop. I love walking around town and it's warm enough now.

Got a couple of things from eBay yesterday. 

Vintage PRIDE pins.
Ready for June.

Vintage brooches for
my coats -- old pins are in :)

I'll leave it here today. I need to re-write scripts for my representative calls. I rambled too much yesterday and hit time limits -- geez. 

Have a good day. Later gators.
