The weather has tended to swing back and forth between wind and rain lately. The good thing about wind during this time is that it dries the mud. Ace and Patty’s pens seem to be the exception to that as they have water standing in them.
Recently I’ve had someone tell me that they feel a calming presence in my posts. It always surprises me to hear this. I don’t always feel calm. I often feel overwhelmed, scattered, and in a hurry. When I get this way, I need to remember that I can go out and get calming energy from the horses.
Sometimes it Feels Like the Busyness Never Ends
This last week has been one of those weeks that was bustling with activity and this coming week looks to be another.
I sing in a choir that’s in Lawrence (about 40 minutes away). We had rehearsals on Monday and Friday. Our spring concert was on Saturday. That was three trips. Then on Wednesday morning I went to a networking group in Lawrence and had Sunset Connections that evening. Thursday brought a doctor’s appointment in Kansas City followed by a trip to help mom get her medications that was a failure followed by a trip to Topeka for a meeting there. I needed to get groceries and didn’t feel like I had time for that, or they would have had to sit in my Jeep while I did other things.
I had a lasagna that I had made a few weeks ago in the freezer and John was coming up for dinner. I needed to get a few things to go along with it and something for breakfast, so I finally made a quick trip to the store. I also didn’t need to get much as I’m leaving today for a conference in Omaha tomorrow.
What’s Most Beneficial for Me and My Business?
I’m also trying to decide on a couple of events on Wednesday in Kansas City. Will I be too tired after driving back from Omaha? Should I stay here and work on the project with Raven? This is the whole reason I haven’t gotten it complete – I feel scattered. I feel like I need to do activities that will bring in income not these necessary administrative tasks.
And there’s the pressure of the project that Raven is working on. I didn’t feel like I was doing my part for that. I felt like It can feel like a herd of horses racing toward me. Right now, my calendar is open on Thursday and Friday. It looks like I might have a bit of a respite.
In the evenings the silence is blissful here. With all the rain the frogs are out singing their chorus. The coyotes join in with their howling. Sometimes you can hear the turkeys as well. It’s a beautiful cacophony of sounds like a couple of the songs from our concert.
