Silly But I Still Over Schedule

I knew I was going to overschedule myself
It was as sure as the piccolo played by an elf
Still I promised, too many I would help, which is silly I know.
Painting myself into a corner, with nowhere to go.

That is not a good thing. I think maybe you need to look at the reason/s that you are doing this so that you can heal the core to keep it from happening. A person only has so many hours each day, each week and we don't need to be busy, busy, busy all the time. Creative work that should help you look at this part of your life and work something out. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara

That rarely happens to ME. I am not super generous with my time. This poem shows how caring you are, Caren. Just be careful!!

I admit this was "old Caren" - new Caren is worse.

You can only do what you can do, but you must always keep ample time for yourself. We cannot help others unless we first help ourselves...that's what I believe.

Yes; it is a lesson I have to re-learn and re-teach myself over and over and over.
