Jenerally Speaking

I cannot believe how much work I have gotten done in the past few days. I just completed all of my Psychology submissions and I am ready for the final. My History submissions will be done by tomorrow and then I’ll be ready for that final….and then I’ll hopefully complete Theology by next Monday. Yep – I’ll be set for that final, too.
Goodness, if all of this doesn’t set off my anxiety, I don’t know what will.
It’s taken me months to finally get my anxiety symptoms under control. I haven’t experienced any headaches, nausea, dizziness, etc. in at least a week….thank you, God. Prayer…and medication – a delightfully healthy combination.

And, as usual I am zooming in one area and falling behind in others. As I continue to forge ahead in my studies, I have neglected to attend to some other areas of my life. Where is the balance I am always striving to find? How do other people do it, I wonder…
I always think of the analogy of the three-legged stool, where each leg represents a portion of our life…something like family, work, and play. And if one leg is longer or shorter than the other, there is no balance. That is my life. Not the worst thing that could be, I suppose, but it’s a way of life that I do wish I could change, but don’t know how to do it.
Well, it’s 2:30AM here and I tried unsuccessfully to fall asleep about a half an hour ago and found that I can’t get my school work out of my mind. Soooo, here I am adding an entry to my blog and then off to do some more history work.
I’ll work on the whole balance thing when I finish these courses. Cross your fingers and think good thoughts for me…I don’t want to find myself sick again this weekend and unable to finish these courses before the dreaded August 31st deadline.
Okay then – g’night all!
