A Pastor's Thoughts 
I completely understand what you are saying. I feel the same way so many times. We all need reminders to just stop and take some time to rest and do it without guilt. I think I could be much more productive if I could just learn that balance. Yet, when I have some down time I feel like it should be used for something. Oh and the long list that can always fill up that space. I often wonder if there is supposed to be more to life than working, eating, and sleeping. That is all I feel that I do sometimes. There will always be things that are left undone. Things that we won’t be able to do. Relationships we won’t be able to develop and things we could have done better, if only… Now it is just coming to accept that.
