Hustlin' & Bustlin'

Days come and go. Hours pass and minutes slip by. I slide from one task to the next and never think twice. In my hard to find downtime I try no to think about the routine that I've fallen into, and just try to make the best of the moment. Life is hectic at best. Work consumes most of my time. Trying to coincide my schedules is at times more difficult than than work itself. I struggle to find time to myself. To relax or read a book. Share a glass of wine or a smile with someone. I feel at times the load is overbearing, but I know what needs to be done and seldom complain about it. The few hours I have to relax seem to fly by. I wake each day and think about what lies ahead and always know there is something more. It doesn't matter what, as long as it is something different.


Balance is the key, yet it is one of that hardest things to achieve. What seems to be balance is really just monotony. We fall day after day into the same routine and feel that we have it all worked out. Some insist they have it all together. They are liars. I know I don't have my shit together. The gears get mangled after only a short while and the balance is gone. Left to start again. Perhaps that is what keeps us going. Keeps life interesting. I'm all for surprises. Where would we be without them? Who would want to go through a day knowing exactly what was in store for them? That to me is boring - and pointless. Granted if we take the good surprises we must take the bad as well - but I'm all for it. I'll take the shitty days at work if they in turn deal me a quiet sushi night with a smiling face. Give me a flat tire on the way to work for a good bottle of wine to share at home. Always try to stay positive and never let the man get you down. The day you wake up without a hope or care in the world is the day you need to stay in bed - 'nuff said.
