I am not sure if I have ever been busier than I am these days. I am writing loads which is always amazing both professionally and personally, i don’t think a day in the week goes by where I don’t do something work related. The amazing thing is I am really enjoying it.

I need to be busy otherwise the slack time threatens to become a black hole of nothingness for me. I know it does not work that way for everyone but it does for me…there must be pace and rhythm to my life and these days there is an abundance of it.

Add to this single parenting responsibilities every other week and it can be a little breathless.

I do try to squeeze in a little “me time” which typically is quiet time reading or writing, sitting in a cafe somewhere having a coffee and generally seeking a little isolation.

Despite my job I am actually wired as an introvert (INFP according to Meyers-Briggs). I get energized by being alone and crave those moments. I am not sure if I am a natural introvert or if early life socialized me that way. There are times when I feel more extroverted than introverted – for instance I love the chaos and craziness of our Corn & Apple Festival. I love the crush of humanity and the fact that the festival brings massive amounts of money into our community which benefits everyone somehow or other.

Unlike the average introvert I deeply appreciate being around other people but I do not have a lot of depth to most of my relationships…their are a lot of acquaintances but few friends really…and I don’t mind this.
