And even though there was a lot of pain at times (I hurt my back), it completely interrupted my previous schedule and responsibilities. So, as I recovered, I rebuilt slowly and every activity or obligation was selected, rather than just fielding everything that came at me (my usual response). <br /><br />I realized there's a choice in how much I load into my life, and it means I don't get everything I want, but I have a lot more peace of mind. Not everyone lives in that way, though. If I don't overfill my own life, others are desperate to help me fill it... not because they're selfish, but because they think it really does need to be THAT busy, or they feel lazy - and they just can't manage everything they obligate themselves to. They need help, because they aren't ready to simplify just yet... I understand that - it's how I lived for decades. <br /><br />It doesn't mean everyone understands me, or that they're happy about it. ;-) Sometimes the peaceful road is a little lonely, but only sometimes... and only a little.
