So, it turns out I can’t do enough. I am a doer. I have been accused of being a workaholic, but I have strived to improve the balance between work, play, family, and rest.
Even still, no matter how many hours I work or how much effort I put into something, it never seems to be enough.

Thank you for my bed and the hours I do get to sleep in it. Thank you for a way to get from one place to another, no matter how many green or red lights. Thank you for the joy of taste, like chocolate chip cookies, and for my family. Please help me remember that in you, I have more than enough
