V, it made more sense the 2nd time

Who was it who said "No ones last words were "I should have spent more time in the office"?

DM, how wonderfully weird that this board coincides with my daily life!
I've been thinking the same thing lately. I REALLY was looking forward to getting out and riding this weekend and didn't. Why? Laundry, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, rain and walking the dogs won out. Were they bad choices?? Not necessarily. I walked the dogs in the pouring rain Saturday morning and thoroughly enjoyed myself! (I was glad I was walking and not biking in that downpour). Then I opted to sleep in both days and went to church on Sunday - to a sermon about dieting and how our spiritual fitness is more important than physical fitness (even though it's important too).

So even though we need to take care of ourselves physically, it's more important to take care of us on the inside - to love ourselves, be happy, and enjoy this life we've been given. All while being coworkers, moms, sisters, wives and friends. It's a delicate balance but well worth the effort put into it.

I've decided to join a 6 week study group on the Purpose Driven Life. I've hemmed and hawed because I didn't want to give up a night with my son but decided I needed to do this for me. No guilt, this is something I've wanted to do for a long time. And I NEED some adult communication in my life or I will do nuts!
