personal blog: stressed

I am feeling the effects of good and bad stress. The good stress is the excitement of the upcoming race. The bad stresses are: the roofing job and all the issues with that and as well as being pulled in multiple directions by multiple people who need my assistance. I am feeling stretched thin. It is all my fault though and I am well aware of that. I have too many interests and I do not want to say No to any opportunity that comes my way. I have to start learning to say no and move on, although I don't think that will ever happen. My Mother use to sit me down and have the same talks with me growing up. "Kim, honey, you can only do so much. You're going to make yourself sick. You need to slow down and just rest". Thanks for the advice Mom, but I still don't know what "resting" is. She is right though and maybe, just maybe, someday, I will learn. Until then, I keep motoring through life, enjoying as many opportunities as I can possibly fit into my schedule. I have to admit, it can be stressful, but I wouldn't change it. I love being adventurous and experiencing events/places/situations that I thought I would never touch. It is wonderful the people you meet along the way as well. My adventures are my therapy.
