There are multiple days a week that I am putting in 14+ hours at the café.
But it is my dream.
I am living my dream.
And while it is a lot of work, I am loving (almost) every minute of it. I get to cook for people, make them happy. I have a ridiculous circle of loyal customers - that I love dearly - and look forward to seeing every day. I am literally living my dream. Not many people can say that.
I am ridiculously Blessed.
But it is a lot of work. :)
And I've completely thrown my life balance out of whack, and am just now trying to make a few lists of what needs to be done to get that balance back in check. You know the saying....the first step is admitting you have a problem. ;)
In my out-of-balance existence I do miss some very important parts of my life.
- I miss reading. BC (before the café) I read multiple books a month.... and I miss taking time to read.
- I miss writing, blogging.
- I missed working in my gardens. (Hopefully they will forgive me come spring!)
- I missed crafting/scrapbooking.
- I miss my yarn
It appears that I've given up the creative side of my brain (aside from the cooking creativity I get to do now), and I think it's time I start giving it some priority. My brain needs to rest.
So there you have it. I here vow to work harder at working less and doing a few of these things that I love so dearly.
All while living that dream. Cuz that rocks.
