I have to chuckle at myself because I guess I should have known that this season's struggle would not be the same as last season's. The last time I was this busy, sustainability was the issue, however it seems that (for once) I actually learned my lesson! Throughout these last ten days of my crazy fall schedule, things have remained fairly calm, and yet I find myself facing a new kind of challenge. Every day is so packed full that it is easy to go from one thing to the next all day, and while I am not physically exhausted, I find that it is very hard to hold on to the meaning of life amidst such busy-ness. How do I keep my heart awake and alive? How do I make time to have a life inside, other than what is going on in my visible world? When I carve out times for myself, what are the best things I can do to keep my life from becoming merely an outward rat race?
I'm hoping that a weekend away camping will give me some time to figure out some of this. I'd like to learn my lesson early in the semester when I still have time to apply it, and not at the very end! I'd love to hear any thoughts you all have, how do you cultivate your inner spiritual, emotional and thought life, when you're busy or not?

I hope you are able to find a way for yourself. It is so important to keep that grounding though I know you know that. *hugs* you know i'm always here if you need anything especially a chance to rest.
