For all the Hares taking a nap dreaming about being a turtle...

Pressing pause on writing about my trip because my mind is swirling.  I want to be different.  Honestly, I want to be like Daran.  He is my role model.  Ughhh.  But this is me.  

Do you ever have moments where there are too many decisions, ideas, issues taking over your brain space?  The problem with this for me is that I tend to get overwhelmed to the point I crash.  So not ideal.  I have this dream that one day I will be a turtle and not a hare, but it simply has not happened yet.  I am a hare.  I am supremely efficient and quick when I am filled with purpose.  I also am supremely inefficient and catatonic when I am overwhelmed.  

Daran is a plodder.  I sprint and crash.  He keeps going.  He works slower than me but he does not fall headlong onto his pillow when he finishes a task.  He is disciplined beyond what most people understand.  He eats right.  He exercises. He gets things done on time.  

I know that I am gifted in other ways.  I am efficient.  Is that a really good quality though?  How many people walk around saying, "Love that Noreen.  She’s the efficient one.”  Anywho here I am in a sprint phase.  Yesterday and the day before, I was in a “just get by” phase.  I am uniquely made and most days I am fine with it.  Here’s to Hares that want to be Turtles and Turtles that want to be Hares!
