A Hamster on his wheel.
I kind of feel like a hamster on a wheel in his cage going around and around never really accomplishing anything. Have you ever watched a hamster running on his wheel? They just go round and round, never really getting anywhere. They work so hard running in circles and there is no goal no reward at the end. Is the hamster having fun while walking on his wheel, is he enjoying his journey on his wheel? Is he really getting some where on his wheel that we do not see? I have so many goals in life I want to accomplish. I want to remodel our house, and I want to travel I want to have fun. But the only thing I feel I get done is work. I work a full time job processing health insurance claims, then on weekends and some evenings I work for my husband. He owns a video production company, so this time of the year is very busy for us. Then to ad to the mix now I'm going to school. Oh you ask what do I do in my free time? Well lets see I mow our yard, all 2 acres of it, I keep up with the house cleaning, and do all the cooking. Maybe that is where I'm at in life, I need to enjoy the journey God has laid out in front of me. Even though it does not seem like it, I am making progress in life, I guess maybe it's so small it's hard to see. But yet when I look back at things, I see how far I have come. Life is to short not to enjoy the journey you have. So I guess I will go back and get on my hamster wheel and get to work.
Connie, I feel your pain. I don't know what I would do with a second job too. Work, school and family keep me busy all the time. I am really looking forward to a couple of weeks off school to get a little sanity back.
ReplyDeleteGreat post...I find myself being a hamster quite often lately mostly due to technology folly. Yes, do enjoy the journey as the journey is the gift. ~Ms. A.
