Cross eyed

This afternoon I seem to have a problem focusing. I know that I need to focus, but I am struggling. As I look around, I see that others seem to have the same problem. I have always racked it up to the large number of distractions that world offers us today. Is it the world or is it something else?

I don't know that I have answers. I do know that I spent the day focusing on materials so much, that after a while, I could not focus any more. Once I started losing that control, it became easier to be distracted.

As of late, I feel like someone is trying to see how much work they can pile on individual shoulders before they collapse. There are times that it feels like they are doing all they can to make the individual collapse. Other times it feels like they are just seeing how much they can pile and then chalking it up to strength and character building.

In the mean time, there are many good people collapsing by the way side. I am seeing crossed eyed and I don't know that I have made built any muscles. I am doing my best not to get discouraged and keep it all balanced.

A fellow co-worker retired today after 38 years of service. I asked her if she had any words of wisdom. Her response was, "Make sure you enjoy it. If you don't enjoy what you are doing, what you are getting out of what you are doing, or how you are doing it, then you need to change what you are doing, do something else, or find the joy in what and how you are currently doing it."

I have been thinking about that all day long. How about you?
