I give a whole bunch of my time to others. I used to think that was a good thing. I’m discovering it really hinders the work I need to do on me and my relationships. Maybe this will be the last year I sign away every weekend during the fall. It’s such a great activity to be involved in, it just always interferes with so many other things in my life.

Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2005.
