Stuck in the middle with....OK, I was gonna say you but that doesnt apply to this post. - When I Grow Up

Stuck in the middle with....OK, I was gonna say you but that doesnt apply to this post. - When I Grow Up I have a smart, smart husband. Hes the calm sea to my storm, and always helps me quiet my brain puts my worries/anxieties/stress to rest. It doesnt hurt that hes super cute very funny, too! But I digress.. We were talking this weekend about work, and our passions, and how I feel like there is just so much I want/need to do! Things that I dont have the time, or the energy, or the money for. The things, though, that I am doing are causing me worry/stress/anxiety because I feel like theres not an end in sight. I want to grow my business, I want to do a show, I want to call my friends, I want to have some alone time. And no matter how many business building activities I do (Twitter, anyone?), or how many times I speak to the Artistic Director of Opening Doors, or how many friends I catch-up with, or how many hours I spend reading the paper and drinking my coffee, theres just no end in sight. No wrap-up. No doneness. Is doneness a word? I dont think so, because my spell check is underlining it in red. But doneness expresses what I feel so Im keeping it. My husband listens to me ramble, and sees me getting discouraged, and says Michelle, you are one of the most driven people I know. You just dont say youre going to do something, start it, then walk away you finish it. But right now youre in the middle. Youre not just starting coaching, and youre certainly not done with it youre in the middle, right before becoming certified and being able to devote more time to your business. Your acting stuff was neither here nor there this year because you didnt have the time, so youre in a holding pattern there. Your day job didnt just start and youre not about to leave, so youre stuck somewhere in the middle of that timeline too. But once you graduate, and once you get on stage, and once you know that you can make your living at coaching itll be a whole new ballgame. OK, so in reality he might have said only the 1st 4 sentences of what I quoted above, but he might as well of said it all. All of those thoughts came into my head, and they gave me new energy to just keep going! I think I am someone whos had so many stops and starts, so many passions, so many friendships and so many day jobs Im excited by the starting, Im usually even excited for the ending, but its when Im stuck in the middle that I get the itchies. I think Im just going to keep on scratching.
