Christmas time is here!

So I decided this morning there is no reason to not be blogging over break. No excuses is my motto for these next two weeks. No excuses to not inwardly examine things by blogging. No excuses not to work out. No excuses not to do fun things with my friends and family.

This motto, however, has already got me feeling pretty overwhelmed. I feel like now that I am telling myself this, others should expect so much more of me. I mean, shouldn't I live my life this way all the time? Shouldn't I give my all every day to God and the people around me?

Back in high school and college, this was my motto every DAY. I feel like I had so much more energy then. Could it be that the responsibilities of life are weighing me down? Could it be that I have actually turned into a dreaded, boring adult? This is my biggest fear! (Besides, of course, getting a flat tire on the road and not knowing what to do!)

Waking up early this morning after falling asleep very early last night has me really thinking about this. How can I take time for myself, yet still give my everything to God and others? I am struggling in my mind to find a balance...without getting bitter toward others because I am giving too much of myself away....
