What's your theme song?

I attended a seminar recently and at one point the presenter asked the group "now, we want everyone to think about what is your theme song and share with the group". Instantly several in the group raised their hands and gave songs that were very inspirational or spiritual in nature. And of course the group ohhh'd and ahhh'd. But I'm thinking, are these people serious?!? The only song that came to my mind was the Alabama song that goes "I'm in a hurry and don't' know why, rush and rush ......."

Later after I left that seminar I had time, while driving to my next destination, to think about that song again. I did some reflection on my life and why that song came to mind. People say to me all the time, how do you do all that you do? My reply inside my head is - there is another way? I am a multi-tasker at her best. I love having a lot of things going on in my life at once. I admit, sometimes it is overwhelming, but I just take a deep breath and say o.k., this will all get done, and it does.

I do walk away some days and say I don't know why I get myself into all this, but if I really examine the situation, I admit that I love giving back to the community, I love meeting new people and I love to be challenged. It just gets overwhelming at times.

The furniture in my house that never gets worn out is the lounge chairs, the extra couches, anything that equates to long periods of rest!!! I just don't have time. Hmmm, I hear my theme song spring up in the back of my mind again, I'm in a hurry ......

You know, as a woman, don't we all have too much to do. But I believe we do this by choice because we have that nature that does not allow us to over look others, or a situation that needs our attention. I have gotten better about taking care of myself as I rush and rush. That is so important. And that is why I love this blog and our website. It does cause me to rush and rush but it is for me, and others and ......

My checkbook may not get posted every month (new theme song "Tomorrow, Tomorrow" from Annie) but I do get a lot done for myself and others. And isn't that what it is all about? My theme song may not be some spiritual or inspiration one you hear on the radio, but it does have a lot behind it in the way I use the time I have.

It is 5 a.m. as I write this, won't have time later today, "I'm in a hurry ........
