Find a pace to finish the race.

The last two evenings I have made it to the end of the day without posting anything. It gets to the point where it is the end of the day and I am just tired. I have been trying to find that sweet spot where I allow just enough selfish pleasure into my day to make the other ninety percent not feel so heavy. As an example, I love video games. In particular, I love game that tell a story, that make me feel something. As a forty year old adult, I get some funny looks if I say anything about playing video games in front of other adults. I have to make something clear though. I try very hard to make sure that video games do not get in the way of the responsibilities I may have. I actually very rarely ever finish a game any more because I do not have the time to put into them. The relevance is this: If I do not inject a little bit of personal pleasure into my day, week, or month, I will not survive. I honestly think that perhaps I do not give myself enough time. I am not sure that my kids or my family or my work would agree but they get almost all of me. It is exhausting. The title of this post is “Find a pace to finish the race”. I think at this point maybe I am moving a little to fast and if I am going to finish this race, I am going to have to slow some things down a bit a re-prioritize my efforts.
