The urge to write

I've had a crazy couple of weeks and amidst it all I've been craving to write. To summarize some of the craziness: I was out of town for three weekends in a row, got sick, had my sister get admitted to the hospital, and got crazy busy at work. I was really itching for a change for a while, but I think everything added up all at once completely throwing me off of my normal schedule.

But hey, that's life right? It's about learning how to balance the demands of our everyday routines with the things that help us maintain healthy emotional, physical and spiritual parts of who we are. I'm learning about the things that help me stay positive and motivated to continue venturing on. I'm learning that sometimes the things that are the best for me are the things I put off or are the first things I cut when life gets busy. It's all a process, and I hope I'm progressing.

I found this quote today that I like:

"Everyone's got their own path. Some are only just beginning, while others end all too soon. However you do it, the fact is, the path you're on--the choices you make--define who you are. Choices. They're the building blocks of our lives; they shape our past, present, and future and despite all the mistakes I've made, every new day brings with it new choices and a whole new world of possibilities." - Being Erica
