Life is busy! But it is always busy. I suppose having four kids age five and younger makes life busy. It is the kind of busy I wouldn't trade even though by the end of my day I collapse in exhaustion and wonder how I will ever wake up the next morning. And then I do. I wake up and get through another busy day of to do lists and things that need to be accomplished. I have learned or discovered that everyone is busy in some way. We might be busy as parents or busy as students studying into the wee hours of the morning. Or in some cases busy playing and too busy to come inside to eat or even to stop and go to the bathroom.
How we handle our busy lives is what is interesting to me? We can look at our busy lives as an inconvenience, longing for our next vacation or "break" from the busyness of life. Or we can approach the busy life as a blessing and as a way to thank God for giving us so much to "entertain" ourselves with...sporting events, television, video games, hanging out with family/friends. We fill our calendars to make ourselves busy.
And so it is finding the balance of the busy life that becomes a challenge and that is what I am continuing to do, finding what I want to make myself busy with.
