My lovely wife challenged me last night to re-evaluate my focus and what I pour my heart into. Lately I've been pouring my heart into one thing only, something which as of late isn't returning on the investment, no matter how hard I try. So Becky's suggestion was to look at what I'm doing, and all the things I have going on in my life and re-evaluate what I'm pouring my heart into.
It's tough, we both have the John Rebus protestant work ethic. Not that I think there is anything wrong with that, but it's leading to an unbalanced life. I think that I need to concentrate on our home more, school more, even enjoying life more. It's hard though because I feel like I'm not doing what I should be if I'm not beating myself by working hard. But maybe there is more to life! You know, back when I had hopes and dreams, I looked forward to stuff, felt positive moving forward.
So I think I'm going to shift my focus a bit, really work hard at school, get some more stuff done at home. Still put in my 100% at work, but leave work at work. And hopefully it'll work out better for the future.

P.S. Dex and Piper have decided that the upstairs room is much more dull than having the ability to walk on keyboards and knock off pens in the living room/office. They truly are becoming stinkers. I forgot how much fun Kittens are!

Ah, the good ol' rearranging-of-priorities shtick. I never been fond of that game.
Also, kitties rule.

We're rooting for you. Work is highly overrated. ;)
