Some time away

Today's reading is especially poignant and timely. It is all about taking a few minutes (or more) away from all of the pressures and demands of regular life. It mentions stepping away from the phone, meetings and other time demands to think and focus on you and your beliefs; especially your relationship with God.

I feel particularly under the gun with my current assignment. I have been assigned almost double the work and lost all other resources to assist and delegate to. It is now just me with the original system to complete as well as a second complete system. I am trying to be smart about it and make good decisions so that what I create for one system has the potential to be utilized in the other however there are still parts that will always be separate. I sometimes sit in meetings and just try to keep by head near the surface by the end, forget above water at this point. So when I read today's reading, I took a deep breath and reminded myself that I do need to take time away and to not get completely wrapped up.

I am very thankful that we started this Uncommon challenge. If nothing else, it gives me a little time every day to reflect on what is truly important in life. Once again Mr. Dungy has my admiration! It's all about making goals and priorities manageable and attainable.
