Life Balance.

Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life --
 learn some and think some and draw and paint and
sing and dance and play and work every day some.
--Robert L. Fulghum

I have been reflecting on this quote that I discovered, and trying to work on having a balanced life.  I find it a constant journey and it is not always as easy as it seems.  Trying to find time for play, taking care of self, work, and your family takes hard work...and of course good time management skills.

I wonder how many of us lead a balanced life, and how they really acheive it.  It is a goal that I am working on, and of course some days are better than others.  There are days when I feel that I need to work more, especially when the bills come in and I am juggling between bank accounts to decide which bill to pay this week and which one to put off to the next week.  Then in admist my days off trying to decide which appoinmtents really need to be kept and which ones I can miss so to spend some extra time with my children who are having a personal crisis.

Living with teenagers is a unique journey, working towards having independance and still being at home is a struggle for most teens.  Fortunately I have a good relationship with my children, I feel blessed, even when my girls are being rebels.  That is what keeps their spirit alive I believe.

Today I am reflecting on my blessings of my family and the growth of my personal journey.  I have come a long way and will continue to work on my life journey and keeping balance in my soul.

Blessings, Kimberley
