Pausing for Life

December 5th, 2007

I can tell I am aging because I can only seem to do about three things at a time now.  I look around my office and everyone is scurrying to meet a series of deadlines.  There was a CO hearing on Monday.  There is another one scheduled for Thursday. We have a brief due at the Supreme Court on Friday which we have to get to the printer on Thursday.  And we have a rebuttal due on Saturday. 

It makes me tired just to type it.

On top of this we continue to answer the GI Rights Hotline.  We continue to work on the next newsletter. We continue to work on a new book on COs and the Military to be a companion piece with our COs and the Draft (which we really need to update!)

On top of this, of course, we are all living our lives:  Christmas, children, a wedding, in-laws, parents, broken appliances, and visitors coming.  Life stops for no one.

But we still must stop for life.  For us to be there for the hearings and the briefs and the calls we must stop, watch the snow briefly, and begin again.
