Me Thinks

This week Matthew said to me, "I feel that you are running to get into bed so that you can sleep and then wake up and start running again."  I'm thinking that what Matthew said to me was not a compliment.  He said it nicely and with a smile on his face, but it got me thinking.  Yes, lately it has felt as if I am running--but I thought it was because I was trying to make every moment of every day count.  I have much to do--really more than I can do each day, but if I hustle then I can get a lot of it done and proceed to the next task, right?  Or wrong?  I am wondering if I noticing who and what I need to notice along the way. I am wondering if I am being sensitive to the Spirit.  If the Spirit is trying to direct me to remember something or someone, am I listening?  Do I ever stop long enough to listen? I must take the time to ponder and be still. I must take the time to listen with full attention to my family members.
