Saturday Morning Thoughts

For many years, my early-morning habit was writing. I would get up before my family and write - in a journal or here on the computer - thoughts, opinions, etc. Sometimes I would write stories or edit previous works, or write poetry or what-not. But the past school year has made that more difficult as I have been staying up too late and not getting up before the kids, so my writing has been pushed aside. I still write, but it isn't as consistent as it was....

So here I am on a Saturday morning. It is the first Saturday of summer break and yesterday evening was spent at the ball park watching my daughter play softball, followed by some time with my hubby watching tv....just a nice lazy evening. I was able to sleep in and now I have some time to myself before I get ready to work today.

I am a massage therapist, and I own my own business. From the beginning of my career, I have been my own boss - first as an Independent Contractor - and since January 1st of this year I have been the owner of a little larger business and now I manage a few other Independent Contractors as well. Really what that means is I am in charge of paying the bills and distributing the money... and a few other things that I am still learning. :) At times it is overwhelming, but overall I love the challenge. I absolutely love what I do - it is my calling in life and I am so glad that I found it. I am still learning how to balance it with the other aspects of my life - I definitely need to work harder at that - but I knew it wouldn't be easy. The challenges keep me alive though. ;)

Time for me to get going now...
