Busy

This week has been exceptionally busy at work for me. Lots to do, lots to wrap my mind around. I was very thankful for my massage on Tuesday afternoon. I referred a friend to my chiropractic place and I got a free massage. How cool! I didn't even know they were running a referral special.

As I get older I am beginning to appreciate down times just simply to rest. I think that I always took those for granted in the past. You go through life as a child having more play and rest time than work time and somewhere along the path to adulthood it flip-flops and you have more work than rest. I guess it will be a struggle until I finally ingrain in my brain how to balance work and rest.

I think I shall head to bed early tonight.

Austin Airplane Crash

Today a man crashed his airplane into the IRS building in Austin TX. I read his suicide note. They put it on CNN. It is so very sad to me that a man would take his life over how the government is run. Our government needs to change; this is true.

One of my favorite quotes is by Edmund Burke :: "All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing". Something must be done, and soon. Our government is approaching the point of no return with all their laws and tax codes and codes on top of codes.

But Mr. Airplane man, I don't think setting your house on fire and crashing your plane into an IRS building is the answer. Part of the journey of life is to learn to let go of our need to be in control of everything.

I am learning this slowly; at times my growth is imperceptible; but I am growing none the less.
