I know,it has been days since I have written. 
This was a matter of choice.
Time was becoming an challenge to me and prioritizing what I believed to be important meant making some very painful yet necessary choices.
My choice was less about not writing and more about tending to things that needed my immediate attention.
almost 5 days later, I can honestly say that I have managed to put out a multitude of fires and cross the vast majority of open items off of my to do list.
To say that I have made progress would be a major understatement. 
To sit back and admire all that I have accomplished this week would be an even bigger mistake!
Look, 48 hours from now, the majority of the people in the world that I live in will come to a screeching halt as they shut down for the long holiday weekend.
At some point during this respite in the mundane occurrences of our daily lives, I will find some time to sit back and take a deep cleansing breath.
I will be able to take a peek over my shoulder and see just how far I have come.
This is not that time.
Now is the final push. 
Now is the time to make sure that I continue my assault on that to do list.
Now is the time to not just reach for the top. It is time to go over the top!
Conquer the summit and find myself not just on top of it but on the other side of the mountain.
I do have to admit though....it feels pretty awesome so far!
