Hello, my name is Angela, and I have been writing posts to a blog and not publishing them... 'sigh'

I have been so wrapped up in my life that I have been neglecting things I love. Writing, singing, running, even family and friends. Any more I feel like I have SOO much to juggle, and I am guilty of letting a few balls drop to the floor. It's difficult today. It's not easy being husband, wife, maid, landscaper, dog mom, employee, friend, sister, daughter, cousin, (soon to add "Aunt"), handyman, driver, dreamer, writer, singer, keeper upper in politics/news/community, church goer, charitable helper, chef, etc, the list goes on forever. Today we (I'm sure a LOT of people feel this way) are made to wear so many hats. But when do we get to rest, reflect, and enjoy? I take time off and it gets filled to the point where I am so rushed trying to pack everything in, that I spent a chunk of my vacation wishing I hadn't even taken it. What was the point in that?

I have been trying to self-reflect lately, perhaps if I have a better sense of self, I will be able to wear all my hats smoothly. Even better, remove the hats I don't need weighing me down any longer.
