Recharging the Battery.

Hope you have some Springy weather where you are. Lots of things are going on here in NC and apparently I am getting overwhelmed. I don’t think I am bothered by everything on my calendar but my stomach has been nervous and full of butterflies for the past couple of weeks so obviously something is giving me a sign. I typically pride myself on my ability to keep piling things on my plate and handle them all. Well, I can now say that I think the plate has no more room on it! Ugh…I think I need a hot bath and a great fashion magazine in the short term. I know myself well enough to know that it’s time for a rest. At least something long enough to recharge my battery! My husband and I are going away (just by ourselves!) next weekend. It couldn’t come soon enough. I know we as volunteers, and especially women volunteers always put so much of themselves into clubwork that we don’t recognize when we’re running ourselves out. I adore my clubwork and all the things I’m involved in with the Federation and can safely say that it’s here to stay! I guess I have that insecurity that when I have alot on my agenda then I won’t do any of it well. The typical doubting yourself route….that we all should drop in junior high. I am incredibly honored to be President elect of my club but of course, have that innate fear of failure. I know myself well and I can tell you that alittle peace and quiet go a long way for me (no easy feat with a 3 year old and almost 1 yr. old in my house!) and I can almost smell the mountain air where my mini vacation will occur…did I mention it’s in 9 days?? I can feel those butterflies departing already.
