Oftentimes I find myself overworked, exhausted and wondering when the busyness will end. Life always feels like a go go go situation and it's hard to get out of the bind that it swallows us in. But stress is good. It's healthy. It's motivating. It also conjures up a lot of fear, intensity, and panic sometimes.

I know that in my life, it seems like I can never catch a break. Once I finish one project or one task around the house, something else seems to pop up. It's like life is on a constant repeat game of whack-a-mole. But what I've learned is that even in the stressful moments, I need to cherish them. When my to-do-list is stacked a mile high and I cross each task off one by one, I get energized, I feel unstoppable. I know it's crazy to get excited about getting the little things done like going shopping, making dinner, sending out the bills, or completing homework. Maybe in your lives, you're raising kids, or have other responsibilities and you feel overwhelmed, but at the end of the day, you lay in bed and take a big sigh of relief thinking, "Wow. I did it." And then the next day you have to wake up and say, "Alright, what's next? Let's do this."
