I've never considered myself as an overachiever. Most times I am content to do the things I need to do, and do them well, be never try to push myself to take on more responsibilities. Home life is busy enough.
Yet, I still can help but yearn to do more. I am almost 36 and I feel like leaving a larger mark on the world. Lately this has been manifesting as getting more involved in my homebrew club, but also trying a little harder to express my creative side, primarily through photography. (and this blog :/)
However, after my experience last year with helping to organize the National Homebrewers Conference in San Diego, where I recruited and manged the guest speakers for the event, I am concerned about balancing all of these activities with family time. A part of me is quite guilty not spending 100% of my non-work time with family activities, and I love spending time with all of my kids and my wife, but I also need the selfish time. Don't we all!
So effectively balancing my responsibilities will be one of the largest challenges for me in 2012. Wish me luck.
