I haven’t looked to see how long it’s been since my last post – perhaps because time will prove too fleeting if I use this as my watch.

This has been the best weekend I’ve had in a long time. In large part because I chose to put my cell phone aside and my computer down, fortunate  to have enough business that I could afford a couple of days for me and mine. As I’ve been telling my business partners, I’m a passionate person, so my fire burns long and hot. Once quenched though, it can take a long time to stoke. It’s nearly June, and this weekend aside, the amount of full days that I’ve taken off can be counted on one hand. After an especially busy week (last week) I lost my credit card and my wedding ring (separate incidents), which led me to believe that I either had a tumor that was affecting my short-term memory or I needed to take some time off. Taking time off meant completely blowing off some regular weekly meetings that I knew would only lead to more work.

That was a week ago today. I did have to work a little, but for the most part I put work aside. Kami and the kids returned from their trip to Montana on Thursday, so I’ve spent as much time as I could with them, mostly letting Selah enjoy her time outdoors on our newly mowed yard. Now I’m getting ready to show some condos to some out of state buyers, and I can say that my fire is lit again. I’ve excited to show them – excited to get to know good people. I’ll be of better service to them because of it, so I’m going to have to be better about taking the time to sharpen my axe.
