Confessions of an Addict?? 

“Zinty, why are you home early, today?”

Every member of my family, yes, all 4 of my siblings as well as my mum and dad asked me this question when I got home today. At first, it was actually quite funny- the expressions on their faces and the tone in their voices were pretty hilarious. Then I was like, uhh, is it a good thing that my family is so surprised that I’m home early?? I mean it wasn’t even like I was early; early was just a relative term. My mum even said, “It’s so nice to see my baby girl in the house before dark!”….

My point? Somehow, between January (when I made a resolution to leave work at 5 everyday no matter what) and now, I have sunk back into my ‘workaholic’ tendencies. I love to do a good job! If you’re going to do something, then do it well, do your absolute best! Yes, yes, and yes, but you see there’s thing called balance, and it’s pretty useful and I tend to lack balance a lot! I do my ‘job’ well (at least I think so:-)), and I love that I do that, but that’s not all I was created to do well. There’s my amazing family, incredible friends, me :-), and of course my Precious Lord Jesus! All of those things require just as much excellence, just as much 100% of me. I guess it all goes back to priorities, and again, I seem to have those mixed up more often than not!...So, here I am, having fallen pretty much flat on my face, again! :-) I am getting up again!:-) and I’m going to try yet once again! :-) to work on balance, priorities, doing things with excellence, doing life with excellence- all of it!!
