The sun will set tonight and I will know I've done my best.
My story doesn't end on this page. Tomorrow is a new gift for me to explore, and I have June's issue to plan. I started the leg-work of creating a unique newsletter in March, and was inspired to create a digital magazine. Fear won a couple of months ago; not in May. Tonight I am sitting in a recliner with my laptop between me and the race on television. I am finally taking a break since a week ago Wednesday when I held my breath and hit the enter key to publicly announce I was starting this magazine. Yes, I did this in less than two weeks. I'm curious to see what I can accomplish when I have a full month to work on the next issue. However, on Monday I plan to do the dishes, vacuum the floors, and mow my lawn.
Here's eight things I learned: one, I cannot do it all; two, it's important to take the time to go for a walk in the woods; three, the dishes can wait; four, I have one hell of a supportive tribe; five, working on two laptops at the same time equals lots of active internet tabs; six, what my time-wasters are; seven, I can survive without social media for a couple of days (who knew it was possible!); eight, I AM DOING THIS!
At the end of the day, we may perceive life differently, but we all look to the elements for a healthier life.
Life is an amazing adventure; it was never meant to be lived in gray-scale.
