Perspective

My life has been incredibly chaotic.  At least I think so.  Work has been busy, I've taken on a role at the boys school that has taken up more of my time than I expected, and the boys have had all their normal busy sports schedules. I've done some traveling this fall that wasn't normal with a trip to LA to spend some time with my aunt, a trip to Moab to complete a Half Marathon I didn't have time to train for, and a work trip to Milwaukee and a quick one to St. George.  See.  Busy.

But all of this busyness is my choice.  I accept that and I'm not complaining. I'm also not looking for sympathy or trying to find excuses for not writing.  They were simply choices. 

This morning I was reading a blog and came across this letter written by Fiona Apple.  I could not make it past the first paragraph without crying.  It really puts life into perspective and I am thankful for mine, as crazy and chaotic as it is.
