ALL WORK AND NO PLAY

I tend to work seven days a week in my profession as a Realtor.  Partly because it seems to be one of the demands of this particular industry, but also because I really enjoy this career I have been blessed with. Coming to the office allows me to focus my thoughts, organize for the upcoming days events and just take an overall look at the direction I want for the new week.

However...sometimes I forget to stop and just take care of myself.  While trying to balance a busy schedule, attempting to get back into a routine at the gym and making the contacts neccessary to conduct business it seems that I sometimes forget to take the time to just stay healthy.  Last week I got hit with a cold.  The cold morphed into bronchitis and culminated with a 102 fever.  Why, I ask myself, do I need to go to this extreme to remember to slow down just a bit and enjoy my health and the life that I am so fortunate to have? 

It is a beautiful sunny spring day this morning, and while I am busy at work, it is my intention to allow for breaks and some fun time.  I have a lunch date with one of my favorite lenders, Julie Ogle and this too will be a bit of a break from the ordinary.

Moral of my story?  I guess it is that no one else will make me take care of myself, so I better get with the job myself.

Have a great day!
