Feast or Famine

Do you ever notice sometimes that life is a roller coaster of feast or famine moments? That's my life right now. It's at a high point for a feast, well sort of, especially on the weekends. My different interests are suddenly happening all at once almost clashing or is it colliding. Either way it's a challenge.

I'm finding motherhood can be an obstacle when other things I feel passionate about conflict in schedule. I know there are some women who would jump all over me for saying such a thing but I know there are other women who can relate completely. I know because I watched a couple of episodes on Oprah on this exact topic.

Back to the point .... there are so many things I would love to get a lot more involved in but at the moment I am unable to because my children need me. I get told I have plenty of time in the future for all those things I'm interested in but do I? I learned a decade ago with my husband's passing that life is too short and to seize the moment. So who says I'm even granted another day, week, or year. That's my dilemma especially since any outside interests of mine are met with friction and guilt trips. That story is saved for another day, another entry. But right now, I can only take a deep breath and accept for the moment whatever interest I am allowed to take part in and hope it will change in the more recent future.
