What happens when you finally get the chance to shift the workload, and share it a bit better?
Maybe I’ll do some new stuff. There’s plenty of communications work that I can see needs doing. But perhaps I can work out how to keep a bit more of a balance. In the past, I felt compelled to do stuff because I ‘saw it needed doing’. The last few months in particular have made me more wary, more keen to conserve energy for other things.
This evening we went to see the film ‘Ratatouille’ at the cinema. It was funny, it was clever, all that great Pixar stuff. But it was also about passion, about the things we love doing, and are good at, and doing those wholeheartedly.
I love cooking, so the film was a happy message as far as I was concerned. But I also love writing. Music. Reading. Being with family. Going for walks in the sunshine on autumn days (as we did this morning with my parents). Because there is time for these too. There should be. And thankfully, it looks like there will be.
