If less is more, just think how much more more is...

I might be in a manic phase right now. I think it's the unusual amount of daylight this time of year that created the illusion in my mind of having more hours in the day.


In the last few weeks, I have started attending exercise class 3 days a week with a group from church. Not that impressive unless you consider the last exercise class I attended more than once was in college, and I needed the credits. I've ridden my new road bike an incredible number of times, and at unusual times of the day: crack of dawn, check; dusk, check; 95 degrees in the middle of the afternoon, check that too. I've taken my first piano lesson ever, and practiced the 5-note version of "Ode to Joy" enough to make my children run in fear. And I've committed to myself that I will write at least one blog post a day until the BlogHer conference in August.

But now I find that the mania is backfiring, because exercise class comes really early, but I can't go to bed until I blog...thank goodness summer solstice is almost upon us, and the daylight hours will be lessening.

  1. Geez...stop setting your goals so high. I think I'll commit to not using emoticons until the BlogHer fun.

  3. Ah, Claudia, as one of my favorite poets once said: "the best made plans o mice and men, oft gang aglay."

    Just remember, it's summer, this is the time of year to find balance. Have fun, but do get some sleep.
