Can't Help Them All . . .

I'm in the middle of a lot of volunteer projects these days. I've started to become painfully aware of my own physical limitations these days. Now more than ever. I wasn't able to carry a few heavy boxes for a relatively short distance without asking for some help. Maybe I've got to do a little more on the administrative side on the volunteer projects, and a cut back a little on the manual labor. The minor aches and pains are starting to become a bit more persistent, but I'm not ready to give up just yet. I'm not quite ready to accept the fact that I can't do it all. Even though I can't help everyone, I can still give it a try. See ya.

Keeping With The Times . . .

I've been keeping up my various blogs and websites for over five years now, and I'm considering the fact that it may be time to move into the world of the new media. There are just too many cool tools out there to move forward with a different type of message. So, I'll keep up the Blog of The Road Warrior for a little while longer, but I'm starting on my first Road Warrior Podcast. Coming soon to RSS feed near you.

See ya.

Total Systems Failure

I was reminded recently that I am not indestructible. In the last couple of weeks, I decided to put a lot of extra stuff into the schedule, and I found that I have not only exceeded my limitations, but I think I may have hit some sort of magical limit that causes total systems failure. I just popped over to Hawaii for the weekend to attend my cousin's graduation party. During that time, it amazed me that very little activity caused all sorts of new and exciting pain in places that I didn't even know I had. I'm attributing this to the flu, but maybe it's time to really start slowing down a little. For real, this time... See ya.

Crossover

I usually was pretty good about keeping different facets of my life as separate entities. The only thing that crossed between those different worlds was me. Keeping my work life, volunteer activities, friends, family, and blogger life as separate entities just seemed normal. In the last few months, that separation seems to be harder to maintain. I just got both of my volunteer agencies talking to each other to collaborate, and am working with my company to support some of those volunteer initiatives. I've gotten some of my friends working with me toward some of those volunteer projects, and my colleagues from the past have sought me out to perhaps return to my old industry. I've also got expanded responsibilities at both my work and volunteer projects.

I'm not sure what the future will bring, but one thing's for sure -- the next few months will be a very interesting ride. I'm off to a family thing for the weekend, and I've got some time on the road coming up after that. I just can't get enough of this, I guess... See ya.
