My brain just blew a fuse.. Today was supposed to have been a religious holiday.. i intended to take the time off and reflect.. and instead.. I got slammed with work.. most of it r stuff I’ve volunteered to do.. but really didn’t need to do .. I’m so. exhausted.. In trying to be a good guy/citizen//friend/coworker/family guy I’ve said yes to too many things and now I’ve maxed out.. I can’t even think
I need to start letting go of some stuff..
Whoever you are.. If I’ve said ‘yes’ to something you’ve asked me to do .. can I please make it ‘no’ ?

Shana Tova.. Happy new year folks.. For us yiddlach tonight is Erev Rosh Hashonah.. New Years Eve.. Though.. it’s hardly celebrated like that.. no wild parties or fireworks.. Tonight Jews everywhere welcome in the new year.. this one is 5772 by the religious calendar. It starts the 10 days of reflection when you are ‘sposed to look at the year just passing and figure out how to dial it in a bit better in the coming year.. I’m not a religiious guy.. but I am a spiritual guy. This time of reflection couldn’t come at a better time for me.. I am trying to find a better balance in my life now.. do a little more good in the world.. and get a little more peace in my life.. The funny thing is.. I always seem to be looking for that.. One of the blessings/curses of writing like this is that I can go and check in with myself at any date in the past nearly 5 years.. if I’m always looking for the same sort of change around this time of year.. no.. actually.. nearly every time of year.. what does that tell me ?
Something to think about these next 10 days…. no ?
For the second week in a row i made the subconscious decision to skip Wednesday .. I’m not sure why.. or for that mater.. how.. But i lay down and did all my days prep for Thursday.. Checked my calendar, planned Gabes car pool.. sent some Thursday-ish email Same thing happened last week.. …I removed Wednesday from my week plans and actually showed up for work thinking it was Thursday.. Now I have nothing really against Wednesdays.. in fact.. I’m kind of partial to them.. I sometimes try to work at home on Wednesdays.. but that hasn’t been working out that way in the past couple of months.
I guess I shouldn’t view it as a bad thing if one of the weekdays wants to skip out every so often.. I’m just wondering what will happen if they start moving around on me.. Imagine a Sunday shoeing up right in the middle of the week.. or a friday night appears where everyone else is on Monday morning.
I’m going to sleep now.. I guess I’ll let it be a surprise what day tomorrow really is..
I had a day thinking of balance.. I’m sorely out of balance these past few days.. and I’m and seeking my way back I made some good choices in that regard today.. I said no to a few things, I relaxed a little when I could have chosen to stress.. I picked up my phone every third call.. I only answered half my email
and I did impromptu balance stunts with my friend steve in the cafeteria..
I can see my way back to more balance.. but never perfect balance..
what fun would that be ?
