Never Enough!

Do you ever feel like you wake up and by the time you turn around the day is over?
There is never enough time to get everything done.
Especially when you have a list like mine...
I admit, I have been able to release the majority of the fear I create in my life. But for some strange reason, I just cannot let myself relax.
I now realize my greatest fear is rest. I can achieve a brief moment while in yoga, where my mind is still and I don't think about the ten million ideas, thoughts, lists and goals...
But I've never really been able to accept a breath in my daily outlook. I guess I'm terrified that if I stop, I might not be able to start again.
So there it is- I've finally spelled it out.
Now, what can I do to change the situation? I refuse to let my life pass me by, always wanting more! There has to be balance. So I've decided to give myself a mid-year resolution!
BALANCE.
How I'll attempt to reach it, I have no idea.
I'll put that on my list of things to figure out tomorrow!

Rain Drops and Recorded TV...

Swimming pools. Movie stars. Trendy nightclubs.
Los Angeles is known for a lot of things...
But not rain!
This is supposed to be the golden state!
When it rains in LA the world comes to a stand still.
So today became the perfect day to catch up with life...
I got a hair cut. Sent off my claim forms for my medical reimbursements. Paid bills. But most important, I was finally able to watch the twenty hours of recorded television on my DVR.
Call me crazy, but I'm unable to focus on ANYTHING if I know there are unwatched episodes of 30 Rock, Top Chef, Big Love or Gossip Girl!
I'm a freak. I get an incredible high from crossing things off a check list. Sometimes I even make lists of things that I've already done or can't help but do, like waking up or taking a shower- just so I can get the satisfaction of crossing it off.
So you can imagine how relieved I am to see an empty DVR box.
Now if only the pouring rain would stop!
One lazy day is all I need. I've got an empire to build!
...and a list a mile long that's not going to cross itself off.
