The Busy Bee

*buzz* buzz*

At 10 a.m., I left Statesboro, Georgia, in route to Augusta; took a flight from Augusta to Atlanta, and from there, traveled to Houston, Texas. After a 2.5 hour wait at the airport, I finally received the long-awaited transportation, only to arrive in my room and sit at my computer for another 3 hours – working! But it is no surprise that I was working on each of the two flights. For the past month, work (two jobs, 3 classes, and everything in between) have consumed most of my “free-time,” and have left me utterly drained to the point where falling asleep is a hazy memory that never lasts long enough.

The busy little bee – that’s me. It amazes me how just five years ago, I swore that in 5 years, my life would not be so hectic. Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think? A little too ironic, yea, I really do think!

But once again, I am making that same vow to not be the same frazzled little bee 5 years from now. Now will I cease to be active? Never! But will I spend more time doing things that contribute to the growth of my personal relationships and less time “working”? Most definitely.

Do I regret any of the tasks I engage in? Of course not. Everything I do is with purpose. The question now is, how much of the task’s purpose is beneficial to me? Looking toward the future, towards a tomorrow that is never promised, pushes me to work less, love more, and make as great a difference in this world as possible.

Signed,

A bee on a mission to smell a rose or two…or three!
