There was an article floating around awhile back that talked about how being busy has become a badge of honor. We live in a society where something is always going on. While I enjoyed the thoughtfulness of the article and agree with the precise, I still find myself busy a lot of the time. My awareness has increased and I now try to choose a different response than “busy!” to the question “how are you doing?” But it’s honestly a conscious effort not to blurt out how damn busy I’ve been for the past I don’t know how long. Sometimes I wonder if it’s a disease of my own creation or one that is inevitable in these current times. Most likely a little bit of both.

I am definitely on board for stopping the glorification of busyness but I also have so many things I want to do in this life. I have many passions and they all require that I cram multiple events into my life. Trainings that I both take and teach, time with friends, travel, exploring locally, and spending time with family. This past month has been a whirlwind of weekend activities and evenings out. But it’s all been so good and so worth my time. My body is tired but my heart is happy. For now I will just have to go with busy but blessed.
