mercredi, novembre 18, 2009  My mother has a few choice phrases she loves to use on me. I'm quite sure that your mom has one or two for you as well, doesn't she?One of my mom's perennial favourite mom-isms is "burning the candle at both ends", a phrase which she uses on me whenever I drag myself out of bed at 6am in the morning, or drag myself into the house at some godforsaken hour. I've always accepted this critique with a bit of a smile on my face - because it's true. I've always liked being busy, and liked being useful to people. Lately, I have been wishing that this weren't so true of me. I'm pretty fried from everything, and I wish I didn't have so many competing demands on my time and effort. Church is the one thing which I would kill myself working for, but obviously that's a scenario that I would like to avoid. Work is also just getting interesting - but man can't live on work alone. Balance; how does one achieve it when the candle's blazing on both ends with no respite in sight?  Libellés : personal [House on fire] |
