Letting Things Go

I've been at my new job for a month now.  And I am learning a lot there and at home.  One of the biggest lessons I have learned it that I need to learn to let things go.  Things like these:

My overgrown flower bed right outside my front window and the weeding that I have avoided and run out of energy to keep up on in the other flower bed.  Summer is coming and I know I should have a garden spot ready, even just for tomatoes.  But it isn't going to happen this year.  (It barely happened last year and I wasn't working last summer.)

I have to be honest here, it irritates me that I can't keep doing everything I have always done AND still work this little job I have now.  I'm a capable woman, with brains in my head, and a healthy (for the most part) body to work with here.  And  I have the same amount of hours in the day that other people have.

But still, my weeds are over taking my flower beds, and the flower beds need attention, generally.  And I have chosen to let it go.  Not that it doesn't bother me any more, but I have to be more selective in what I spend my energy on.  And making sure my family is OK, my kids are well and happy, teaching Primary each week, getting to work each day and doing my job, and try to hold all that together is enough for now.

Maybe someday I will get a working time turner, like Hermoine had in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.  In the meantime, I am trying to choose wisely.  And learning to let it go if it isn't wise at the moment.
