busy!

Just sat, having a cuppa after taking my Legs, Bums and Tums class, sorting through emails, updating work on facebook and twitter and communicating via text at the same time.
We all do it I guess, but a text conversation this morning has made me giggle a little and I reckon we all live very very different lives.

My own life in the last 12 months has changed more than I could ever believe after being made redundant and starting my own business.
I knew having my own business would be hard work, tiring, degrading at times, but I never really realised just how much focus has to be on that, and not much else.

The usual 'life of Debbie' in my past has consisted of the following elements
Pets
Boyfriend
Job
Training

Here is the updated 2012 list of elements
Pets
Constant work on building my business
Traning others
Training for challenges
Supporting other challenges

My life has turned into a massive whirlpool of brain mush and exercise!

Trying to fit into others ideals and reality is becoming more and more difficult and my normal is being completely incomprehendable to some people!
Unfortunately my 'normal' life went, last June, or some time previous to that at around the time of the 103 Ultra. My mind changed.

Some say I'm selfish, I say, if I don't put my every waking moment into building my business, it will fail, maybe taking part in challenges is selfish? But when so much good from fundraising can come from it how can it be?

I spent years wasted on people who didn't deserve my attention, they brought nothing positive into my world, now it's time for me to redeem my time here, and with that, I may not be there as much as I was, I may not be able to afford to go out at the weekend and catch up with people, I may be too tired to be sociable all the time, but the above is my current life.

The people who understand are the other 'Ultra' people, the ones that go out of their way to raise money and do silly challenges, the ones that have their own business, the ones that have had and the people who live a less 'normal' existence than most.
These people know who they are, they will now be smiling at this point, because you guys are the ones that are always there for me.
I'm guessing there will also be a couple of frowns though from others.

This is me, this is busy me, this is me and my focus, the things that have to be important for the sake of my existence.

Sorry, had to get it off my chest, but I guess everything is relative?

Happy Tuesday everyone!
