just breathe

When life is going at a breakneck speed, I have to slow down and remind myself that it is not the end of the world if I get a little behind.

My desk is covered in various papers, my inbox is overflowing, I have dishes and laundry and a bathroom to take care of at home. I feel very overwhelmed at this moment. It's like everything is spinning around me and I can't quite nail things down. I have to remind myself to breathe sometimes. I just hope I don't get so far behind that I can't catch up at all...
