Now, sure - given the nature of what I do, it might seem silly to call it "busy". I mean, my busy probably just looks like a lot of time spent on the couch watching movies, every season of 30 Rock, or Disney cartoons. And that's not exactly an unfair observation. (Do I have a great job or what? Yep!)
It's not exactly a fair observation either. Just because I am sitting in the comfort of my own home doesn't mean I'm not hard at work. I still have projects to complete. Deadlines. Expectations to be met.
It means I can get easily distracted from the family life going on around me. Or worse - frustrated by it when it distracts me from the work I am trying to get done.
I have to remember to be intentional about making time to set the work aside and be present with the ones I love. To turn away from the work from time to time and be here. With them. Focused.
And whole I'm at it - to take time for myself. To unwind. To relax. To pray. To read. To refresh and renew.
And then... back to work!
So glad that you're business is doing so well, but you can still keep things in perspective! I closed my Etsy shop about as fast as I opened it. I got absolutely no sales, but will continue to make and give away and crochet for therapy...which, it seems I TRULY need!!! LOL HOPE you have a great day!
