In the land of overwhelmed...

I came upon this great vast land and just on the other side was a land that was where I wanted to be. The ruler of this great vast land welcomed me with open arms and a smile from ear to ear. He said, "Welcome, Welcome my dear. This is the land of overwhelmed and I oversee it year after year." I told him, "Thank you sir, thank you. But you do not understand. I do not want to stay here this is not what I had planned." He replied, "No one ever wants to stay. It is just a passageway." He gave me a cart and told me to take care. In the cart was all I needed to get me from here to there. My cart was heavy to be sure, but with my strong will and stubborness too it was a load that I could bare. I began my journey eager to arrive the new place I desired. Sweat dripped off my face, my feet weighed a ton, and much too soon I began to tire. I stopped for just a moment, one breath was all I drew. When the ruler appeared and gave me just one more thing to do. I placed it in my cart and started once again. This pattern kept on going until that one thing became ten. I had to stop, I could no longer carry on, my load was much too much. So I began to work completing tasks as fast as I could rush. My cart was now much lighter, how much faster I could go. But, behold there came a hill and I began to slow. I stopped for just a moment, one breath was all I drew. When the ruler appeared and gave me just one more thing to do. I placed it in my cart and started once again. This pattern kept on going until that one thing became a hundred and ten! I began to fret and worry, this would never do! How would I ever make this journey, there was just too much to do. So here I stay in the land of overwhelmed, there are others with me I am not alone. But still I do not want to stay here, there is just too much to be done.
