I must rest so I can fly free

I must rest so I can fly free.

I have been piling too much on one side of the scale, as though I were testing my own strength that resides on the other side. Just how much weight -- tasks, chores, activities, jobs -- could I place to counterbalance my emotional capacity.

I found my tipping point. I was piling stuff on one side while neglecting the other.

Now where to cut back. If only it were simple. How to balance the "love to do's" with the "need to do's" while building the strength within to do it.

I must step back so I can see what is truly important, so I can see me.
