Lovin’ Life

So I was asked tonight by my pastor if I had my priorities straight.

What a question.

I responded with, “No – but I am too committed right now to do anything about it.”

See, I discovered what my problem is today. (My mom got excited when I announced this at the dinner table). My problem is that I love life from too many angles.

Seriously. Read a description of what I like to do and it is like, “What has the woman not tried?” (Unfortunately, I love to do everything and am good at doing precious little).

So my life ranges from photography, to music, the teaching, to part time odd jobs, to my accounting job, to my new love (the dog), to snowboarding with friends, to design, to writing, to history, to shooting and firearms, to decorating cakes, to theological studies, to relationships. Sometimes I feel like I am juggling the lives of twenty people. But I love my life to the extent that sometimes I pause in the middle of my day and think, “Am I dreaming or do I really live in the here and now?”

About now reality is setting in. I no longer doubt that I live in the here and now.

I have theory tests to compose for my students, a recital to organize, a trip to Seattle to prepare for, billing to do, work related audits to perform, reports to complete, emails to answer . . . oh! I have a love hate relationship with life right now and my Americano is wearing off . . .
