It's all about ME

Hi friends! Yes, I'm alive. I know it is so unlike me to leave you hanging all day long without an explanation as to what exactly I'm up to, but like I said the other day, things have been a little nuts lately. I'm trying to adjust to my schedule, which has been pulling me in lots of different directions lately, and it's been more challenging than I had anticipated. That's one very tough thing about working as a freelancer--even when the work is done, you're not. There's always something more I can and should be doing. It's just so hard to stop and peel my fingers off the keyboard! I never feel that I'm in a position to just take it easy because, well, my career is far from secure. Sometimes I feel like my CAREER has totally dissipated. I want/need/HAVE to get it back! I will, I will, I will!

So this morning I had a decision to make: Write a blog post or go running. I didn't have time to do both, so I chose the latter. And as much as it hurt me to leave you hanging like that, I really just needed to do something for myself. Plus, if I had skipped the run, this post very easily could have been a rant about how lazy and gross I feel, and I know how much you hate that ;) So really, everyone is a winner here.

The older I get, the more selfish I am. I'm no longer the girl who overcommits myself to things and does favors for everyone even when it's not reciprocated. I pick and choose who I spend my time with and how I spend it. I used to have such a hard time telling anyone no, but now it's a lot easier and it feels good. With that being said, even though this am was all about ME, I will *pinky* promise you now that there won't be many more times I choose a run in the park over YOU ever again.

Ohh and I totally forgot to mention that I'm home in KY right now! Umm, hello! Don't worry, I'll be posting every single day--maybe even twice a day--so definitely check back in! So tell me: Do you have a hard time being a little selfish like I used to? How important is having a "me" day every once in a while?
