Is It Worth It?

I just realized that I haven't written any posts since last week.  I was too busy with fun stuff over the weekend and too occupied with other projects this week to sit down and write something.

The "other projects" have me thinking more and more about my priorities and if I am truly putting forth effort in the right areas of my life.  I am an all or nothing kind of girl.  I can pour a huge amount of effort into making something, researching something or planning something fabulous, but then feel like I am so behind with everything else because of all this other stuff I "had" to do.  I think it is very easy to expend a lot of well-intentioned energy on something that, in the end, doesn't really add much to your life.  I am discovering that before taking on something new, it is really important to figure out ahead of time if it is worth sacrificing time in other areas in order to do it.  Even more, I think it is worth evaluating where all of your time and energy goes in normal daily life to determine if it truly matches your priorities.  For me, I know that I put a lot of time and thought into little things that just don't matter much.

In my quest for simplification, I may just need to curb some of my creativity in favor of a chance to relax and possibly go to bed a little earlier (which unfortunately I have not yet managed to do).  I have been taking vitamins though!  Little changes adding up to big ones, remember?
