Taking Time For Me




WOW, good thing I checked my blog out! Another week or so and we'd be looking at one month since I last blogged. Truth is there hasn't been much to blog about --- thoughts in my head have revolved around work as of late and that has not been worth sharing. Today, I almost have the opposite problem. Thoughts in my head are probably worth sharing, but I'm a "processor" and like to think through things before I put a voice to them (or in this context "typing".)




I was asked the question today "Traci, what do you do for yourself?" And I had a hard time answering. I say this not to be arrogant or haughty about my profession or my personality. It's not a good thing to not care for yourself. So my task(s) for the next couple weeks: #1) find something to do for me and only me, and step #2) slow down long enough to do it.




With rising gas prices and a desire to continue having transporation, I believe I have decided to keep my motorcycle. I bought it about 3 years ago with the intentions of long cruises through TN country-side but in the past year haven't ridden it at all. (Battery went dead and I never bothered to charge it or get a new one). BUT, tonight ... and over the past few weeks...I've thought, "nah, I need to keep it." So that's my decision. We'll see how much I ride it this summer, now that I have my new found intention of doing something for me. I'll let you know how it goes.
