The Art of Being Busy

It is crazy how busy life is.  We are all busy it seems.  I haven't written a blog post since October 13.  Every time I try to sit down to write, it seems something interrupts the process.  I am in the midst of projects for the office and our home.  It feels great to get to much needed organization and clean up.  We are sprucing up the office and making some fun changes. Finally on our west wall, we have 7 historical newspaper advertisements (Thank you Dr. Cliff!) that were printed in the early days of Chiropractic, by Dr. DD and Dr. BJ Palmer.  Please take a stroll down our hallway and take a look!  Various picture frames are changing colors, new posters are going up and some old posters have already come down. We are getting ready to have our annual Children's Appreciation Day with Santa and to add more beautiful hand prints to our walls.  Some new accent colors will be added around the office, (hopefully before the new year) and who knows what else? I'm on the move and having fun. 

I am making sure that all that I'm doing is not preventing me from still taking care of myself.  It is crucial that we maintain our healthy habits especially when we are at our busiest. We need to feed our bodies well, to have the fuel to keep going.  We need enough sleep to have the energy to do what we want to do.  We need to exercise so we get a physical and emotional break from the busyness.  We need to be in the right frame of mind to take on the projects so they get completed in good time.  We need to maintain or increase our adjustment schedule so our body is strong enough to keep moving with us.  We should never be too busy to take care of ourselves.
