31 Day Writing Challenge

Before I jump into today’s post, let me just say that I do think that having a life that is less busy and less stressful does require you doing less. It’s just basic math. I do think doing less is a component of a joyful life. Not THE ONLY component.

Try as we might, some seasons are just plain busy. It’s life and we got to live it as it comes.

So I head into a very busy weekend, I thought you,, reader, might be doing the same.

Do you have a 4 game soccer tournament this weekend where the temps are going to be in the 100’s? You too? No kidding!!

I’m going set my expectations lower this weekend. Everything I wrote on my do-list at the beginning of the week that is not done…. right this minute is not getting done. I repeat. It’s not getting done.

I did my best this week and Monday morning Jen was bright eyed and bushy tailed. She was optimistic. Bless her Monday heart. Friday night Jen has run the gauntlet. And she did it in unspeakably hot weather.To put it plainly, she’s pooped.

This weekend is about soccer, cheering on H, pony tails, baseball hats, sunscreen, and hours on the field in our folding chaires. City Cup comes once a year. I’m soaking up every minute of it.
