I know, I know I haven’t posted for two weeks!  My apologies, I’ve been a little tied up with my Coordinator position for the VA Certificate Program. Although I’m having a great time learning the “behind the scenes” administration that goes along with a college program, it’s been very time consuming to say the least.  

So needless to say, a few things have fallen by the way side during the past two weeks.  But I’m okay with it!   In the past I would have worked frantically to meet every deadline, complete every project even if it killed me.  Now, not so much!  I guess I’ve finally realized that I am in fact human and not the “super woman” I once believed I was. 

Isn’t it funny how our mind sometimes works (or maybe it’s just mine)?  Why do we honestly believe that we can be everything to everyone and manage it successfully?   Managing it successfully to me was always 4 steps to burn out and the “white rubber” room.  But if I got everything I needed to get done, and the physical/mental implications were simply over ridden because the bottom line was I got the work done.  And for me that was always really the end result.   Not now. 

Now I know to let things go a little more…okay not all the time, but much, much better than where I used to be and the fact that I haven’t posted to my blog in two weeks is a true testament to that.

So, I’d like to leave you with a wonderful quote, one I hope you will look at every now and then when the Superwoman/Superman decides to flex his/her muscles.   Remember after all we are only human.

 “Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.”
