On the seventh day, I rested.

I'd like to take a minute to write about life's balancing act.

I realize this may be a tired subject for some of you, but I honestly think that it's so complicated that one person can never figure it out entirely. If you have input, I'd love to hear it.

Life has slowed down just a bit in the past two weeks. I'm in between studying because I'm waiting for hardware I ordered to come in. I've removed every part from my project vehicle that needs to be removed. I'm left with nearly no additional tasks aside from work.

4 months ago I'd have dreamed of days like this. Nothing to do. My brain can shut off and I can still operate at a reasonable level. I can sleep in without worrying about missing anything. This would have been euphoric to me.

But here I am - bored.

I need projects. I need things to do. I need to work 6 out of the 7 days of my week. If I'm not constantly on the move I can't help but feel that I'm wasting my time.

Everyone needs time to slow down and decompress once in a while.. but for me this has been too much. I'm out of balance and I'm not content.
