My soul is overwhelmed, like if I add one more thing it will break. And yet, I worry that there are not enough hours in the day for all that I want to do. As it is, I'm barely scratching the surface of it all.<br />Meanwhile, I've just moved to the country. Outside, there's a country road calling my name.
