Repeatedly off-balance...

Its seemingly only when we are 'off-balance' that we ever seem to notice. When things start to feel like too much and we feel tired, drained or 'used up'.
The thing is we must have been in balance before this other how would we tell the difference?
For me, its the longing for 'me time', time to be alone and collect my thoughts, write, draw, start a new project or just watch a movie in bed.
I know when things have gotten really bad, when my body aches all over, when coldness sets into my bones, all I want to do is curl up and rest.

So now here is the pledge, the pledge to not get so carried away. Carried away with saying YES! Sometimes saying yes doesn't mean putting yourself first but instead creating a degree of compromise. Here is to learning to listen and maybe even giving a thought to how you will feel this time next week?
Time is precious, and when it feels used for others, can become ever so exhausting.
Heres to learning to listen, to the innermost yearnings, yearnings of the heart, yearnings of the soul, may you be heard, so in the future, you will be held.
