I sometimes feel as if I have lost control of my life. It’s just this endless sea of chores, tasks and responsibilities. My weekdays are jammed with work activities. Then my evenings and weekends are full with organizing a regional journalism conference in Athens, Ga., and with teaching my class at the College of Charleston. And I’ve been doing a weekly Bible study that comes with homework. No matter how much I enjoy these activites, there is always so much to do.
Not to mention there is always a floor that needs sweeping, clothes that need washing, furniture that needs dusting and dogs that need bathing or walking. It’s truly exhausting.
So, this weekend I tried to take a little break. I took care of some of the more pressing tasks but managed to squeeze in some couch time. It was a much needed break and I think I might actually be able to start the week feeling slightly rested.
Slowly, I’m trying to take back control of my life.
