Choose You Blog

We as women work much like a computer.

On the surface it may appear that we’re focused on one task, but if you could see the workings of our brains (like a cartoon bubble over our heads), you’d see a million other tasks running in the background.

We’re making lists, lining up our calendars, worrying about what our kids will wear to school tomorrow, solving a problem we’re having at work, thinking about the people we need to call back and trying to figure out where we’re going to vacation this year.  Most of the time we can multi-process without fail–all while running the concession stand for our kids’ little league.

But every once in a while our computers crash.

Add one small process to the heap and it all comes tumbling down.  Literally.

This is the newest fashion accessory I’m sporting for the summer thanks to a distracted brain.

There is a limit to how much we can do, and if we don’t listen to the small clues our body gives us it will send us a message we can’t ignore.

I’ve been trying to be more mindful of staying in the present and giving myself a break (pun intended) since my fall.  Some things will just have to wait.  I hope people will understand and if not, oh well.  They’re not the ones having to get their husband to fasten their bra.
