Time to simplify, no excuses, just doing: First order of business was giving up my summer in Tahoe. There were far more important things in Idaho that needed my attention. There was a man and his two kids that I wanted to experience real life with...we had become pros at stealing moments, always longing and wishing for a time when moments weren't so fleeting. There were weekly Sunday night family dinners that I wanted to be a part of...every Sunday. And a yard that I wanted to mow. And a trip to the grocery store that I wanted to make. And preparations of a "real" meal at a "normal" hour.
It was going to take some bending and learning, but with my experience in following through with things, I knew it could be done. Driven people get things done with a little bit of intentional focus and a willingness to change the things that aren't so appealing.
I tidied up things professionally to benefit me personally. Success #1 and #2. This benefit was not only for me, but for the sake of my relationship...thinking back on it, probably even more so. I also relieved some pressure personally by learning how to say, "no," and allowing myself some time to just be me.
Slowly, but surely I was on a path of cleaning house...simplifying the things that needed simplified. And I found that other areas were gently and quietly falling into place...as they should (aka not as I had intended them too).
