Balance

Have you ever been so obsessed with something that it is all you think about? Well that's me and Ruth's Umbrella sometimes. I think all I do is eat, think, and sleep Ruth's Umbrella. Starting a business is hard. I think for a time I need to take a step back and have a little more balance in my life with family, yard work, teaching, hobbies, etc. I've given up a few of those marvelous things that I love to do that inspire me in order to concentrate or worry about this new business of mine. Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving up...just putting Ruth's Umbrella on a more balanced "diet" with the rest of the things that keep me busy in my life and strive to take all of my attention. Balance...it's going to feel so good! (as soon as I find it of course!)
