I think of you whenever I'm in Ballard. I'm sure both of our lives are crazy-busy, but it'd be great to grab drinks and gab sometime!

You do so much for everyone else at once that I'm in awe; give yourself some, since you are waaaaay overdue. Much love and appreciation.

Overcommitment still flares up in my life. I don't have near the energy and drive you do -- although maybe I would if the healthcare system made it at all practical for me to even consider self-employment -- but I also have the ADD and passion for many subjects. Structuring our own lives is hard when there's so much we want to do and the need to give everything our best. Anyway, the main point was that you do have your own challenges and are who you are and can definitely be daft! You are also not completely alone in being thirty-something and still trying to figure out how to structure your life and achieve balance. Best wishes.
