Sometimes It Is OK To Let One, Two, Three Or ALL The Plates Fall To The Ground....Eventually You have to Pick Them Up

We have so many things going on in our lives as we juggle all the responsibilities between our personal lives, work, school, volunteering etc.  I know I do.  People think that because I am single life is easy and you know I wont lie at some times it is and others it is not.  It just depends on what is happening and where you are mentally and spiritually.

The past few months I have been juggling things and I have been doing my best to keep the plates up in the air.  I can't lie I dropped a plate and I tried to cover it as I didn't think anyone would notice and you know what?  Nobody did.  The plate I dropped was probably more of a serving dish.  I was disappointed and sad that out off all the plates I dropped it was the one that mattered to me the most because of what it represents in my life. 

Dropping this dish had a ripple effect in my ability to juggling the other dishes.  Before I knew it you could see all the broken dishes in my home.  I cared and I tried to pick them up but no matter how hard I tried I just felt like I was getting nowhere.  

Only a couple of people knew I was struggling juggling my dishes but I don't think they knew I had let the dishes fall and break all over my home.  Then there was the weekend when some dear friends came over for the first time and boy was I embarrassed.  That week I vowed I would pick up all the dishes but it was so hard to do and it fell so impossible.

This weekend I felt the weight of the dishes as I was worn out and battling with my allergies.  Yet, today I did my best to put the serving dish back together and I felt good about this.
