The Dragging of Feet

Time to get shuffling along.

It was pointed out to me not too long ago that I drag my feet when I walk. Wasn't the first time I've heard that, just the first time I paid attention. My son does the same thing except when he's running around.

That comment got me thinking about what it could possibly be that I'm dragging my feet about. What have I been undecided about or not really giving my full attention to? I realized that what I've been putting off are some of the things that are mainly beneficial to me. The taking time to care for myself issues - not putting what's important for me first.

Over the past few weeks I've let some pursuits of mine fall to the side as I focused my attention on taking care of others. I tipped the scales in one direction and left myself hanging. And I've been dragging my heels when it comes to getting myself back in balance.

I'm getting there. I can't be everything to everybody, and if I don't take care of myself I won't be any good to anyone else. And for some reason being aware of when I drag my feet makes a big difference. Whodathunkit?
