Once I'm on my run, I feel so much better, and remember how much I enjoy it. I think our lives are so busy with work, family and other things that have to be done, that it becomes really easy to burn out - at least that's how it is in my life. I'm trying really hard to manage everything.
    That's exactly like me! If I can just bite the bullet and get started, then I soon get "into" the project. Sometimes I stew and worry about a project, or procrastinate, but once I get started, then it's priority.

    I enjoy using the swaps/challenges from this board as incentive , like the mug rug swap or the wall hanging swap.

    Sometimes "life" just gets to be overhelming, especially if time is spent doing for others, which we all enjoy doing, but in order to properly serve, we must have "me" time also! Just a bit can help, then we are refreshed to go about our other obligations. Even Jesus had to have time alone(prayer) to finish His work! So don't feel guilty, take time for You! All that you do, you surely deserve it!
