I feel like I was having premonitional feelings (I don’t know if that’s a word, but it is the best way I can describe it). I’ve been thinking about how I’ve been feeling.  I thought about a few of my recent posts.  I’ve had a strong desire to be home more, run less; take a real vacation with my boys; free my calendar of obligations that are not priorities to me.  Somehow, I sensed a change was coming.

I think it is so important to check in with ourselves.  Pay attention to those “random” thoughts.  Don’t live on auto-pilot.  Life changes directions.  What was right before might not be right now.

Be less busy.  Take care of yourself.  Take a walk by yourself … and listen to your thoughts.  Make the appointments you’ve been putting off.  A clean bill of health is a great feeling.  Advice on areas to improve should be seriously considered.  Early diagnosis is preferred to a late diagnosis. 

Check your calendar for obligations that could be swapped out for priorities.
