Volunteering... hmmmm...

So, I'm not so sure this volunteering thing is such a good thing! At least not when it takes time away from other stuff I should be doing! Like blogging!!! I've been happily indexing stuff for the familysearch.org website... too happily I think. There's a piece of me that wants to get these WWII Draft Cards done--I am in the W's--but another part of me knows that is highly unlikely!!
So, I need to find a balance, as usual, between the things I need to do and the things I like to do... and the things I like & need to do... Fun and games!! But isn't that how it is for all of us?? There are the things we like to do... and we do them with wild abandon. Then there are the things we need to do... For whatever reason... And then there are the things that combine both... Wouldn't it be great if all of our jobs were things that we need to do and like to do... There'd probably be a lot less sick days!! Mind you... I do like blogging... but I like doing the indexing too... My trick is to hold both in a balance... That's always the thing for me... I throw myself into something wholeheartedly, often to the exclusion of everything else. So, slow and steady wins the race... I just need to do a bit of this and a bit of that... and find a happy medium...
