Tired Tired

Time for a spring pick me up. The spring cold has hit, allergies have snuck in, and working extra 4 days a week after work has me dragging my ass. I am on my third cup of coffee after two people told me how tired I look today.... jerks. I could continue this way for the next few weeks and struggle to pull myself together, or be forgiving with gentle reminders.

I am working more, but being with children and out of the office truly makes me happy. I enjoy every minute worked. Girl Guides is making a difference in these girls lives, and I see the benefit it provides to them, even when I've spent an hour and a half wrangling 15 girls and not getting through half of what I planned for the night. Their smiles make me smile. Working extra has provided me more opportunities to travel, which gives me something to look forward to.

So yes I am tired, so I will learn to rest, and not to quit. I think rest makes me uneasy because it is the first stop on a slippery slope into a rut. So resting to rejuvenate is my goal. I am not tired just from being tired, I am exhausted because I get up every day and do what I love.
