All You Can ________ Buffet Response

Once again I am responding to Stephanie's Blog (August 3, 2010).

I have decided I do NOT need more things to see, hear, smell, taste, touch or think. I certainly do NOT need more audiobooks to listen to, more digital scrapbooking kits (5000+ and counting) to create with, more books to read, more meals to make or house to clean, and I certainly do NOT need more food to eat. I have enough ideas, plans and projects to fill the ocean and still have some to spare.

What I need is TIME!!!!! and the ability to remember what I am trying to accomplish. I need more time to enjoy all the buffets that are before me. The list is endless. Just this week I created a very conservative list of all the things I want to feast upon RIGHT NOW! It is very intimidating.

Here's my lists:

Education - French, Spanish, Artist's Way, Institute Classes in the fall, HP Classes and Lynda Online Training to gain more computer skills.

Hobbies/Vocation - cross stitching, scrapbooking, energy work

Home and Family - clean and organize home, create menus and meals, decorate and remodel, food storage, emergency preparation

Personal - Journaling and Life story

Physical - Exercise

Social - Correspondence to family and friends, blogs, email

Spiritual - scripture study/conference addresses, temple attendance, church callings: Visiting Teaching, ward web page, scout committee and family history consultant which includes teaching the class on Sunday and indexing.

Yes, this list is conservative!!!

Hmmmm! I just had an epiphany (ah ha moment). I think it is possible that I am a glutenous person. Before me sits an endless buffet of physical, emotional and spiritual food and I am overwhelmed by trying to take in all the possibilities. Maybe I should consider a simpler diet and then I could enjoy life more.
