priorities

“Are you still blogging?”

Someone asked me this a few days ago and it stopped me dead in my tracks. Of course I was! I love my blog! I love sharing happy thoughts! Well then, why have I not posted in almost two months?

“I’ve been SO busy”
“This quarter is crazy”
“Time just flies by”

I have used every single one of these excuses more times than I can count in the past two months. I blinked and all of a sudden it’s November. November!! The month of Thanksgiving!! That’s wild.

But it hasn’t just been neglecting my blog that I’ve used these excuses for. There are some of my closest friends that I have seen maybe once or twice in the past two months. I haven’t even touched my coloring books. I’ve gone from the gym to work to class to meetings to the library to bed and repeat. Not that it’s been a bad two months, at all. The weeks have just flown by and in the chaos, I haven’t always prioritized the things that make me the happiest.

So… my goal for these next few weeks until Thanksgiving and winter break: locate the things that are most important and schedule them in. Make time for coffee dates and skype calls. Be efficient with the little things so there’s room in my life for the big things. Make a list and prioritize, prioritize, prioritize.
