I didn't plan it this way. It sort of happened. My calendar tells me that I have commitments from 8 in the morning until after 9 at night. And they are constant. I wonder if I shall have time in there to sip a bit of tea or take a breath!
This is one of those days when I begin with "Lord, I cannot do this" and end with "Thank you God for getting me through it all without falling apart." Everything I am doing is enjoyable on its own. But the amalgamation of it all is overwhelming. I never know if I will have enough strength to keep going. Somehow I always do, but I am clearly aware that it is not my doing that gets me through.
My parents tell me that after retirement their schedules got busier and busier. I hope that will not be the case for me (not that I plan to retire). I am learning now to build space into my schedule so I do not wear myself to a frazzle. Most of the time that works fine. Except for days like today when my life seems to be controlled by others. Lord protect us from the tyranny of the daytimer.
