Heavy...

It has been a tremendously hard week - thank God for Thanksgiving - it's only going to be 5 days long (including Saturday).
It feels like my "bad day" streak will not end - it has just been crisis after crisis, stress piled on more stress, and pressure that feels like my chest is going to burst. In fact, it got so bad that I woke up this morning because I was dreaming about work (more like a nightmare).

I've had to deal with clients who were upset with me because they misunderstood something - people accusing me of saying things that I would never say.
I've had to deal with clients going through divorce - and somehow I find myself in the middle of the firestorm between them.

I felt so much like I was ready to give up... On the way to work today (I went a half-hour early to setup for another rough day) my heart weighed a thousand pounds... It was all I could do the keep on breathing.
This, despite the beautiful autumn scene unfolding around me.

God help me keep on going - give me the strength and motivation to strive onward... I need to breathe. And help me keep lugging this heavy heart around...

I need a vacation.
