balance

Finding balance is truly life’s puzzle… as I go through each day I think that I may have finally reached that balance between all that I juggle, but then something happens to show me that I wasn’t even close!  So how does one find balance between working full-time, being a mom, being a wife, being me, being a friend, being a daughter, daughter-in-law, the list goes on and on.

I really think that you never find balance because things…life…is always changing.  Some days, one part of your life needs more attention and care than the others, and the next day, you need to put your efforts somewhere else.   I think this is rough for people to accept as we are always looking for the perfect life and the perfect answer to all of  life’s questions…..but I don’t think there is one in this case.  You just have to keep working and keep plugging away…and keep your head held high as you try to muddle through each day.

    You have to take the long view. It’s like weighing yourself while on a diet. If you measure your weight everyday you will see it fluctuate radically, but if you only weigh yourself every Wednesday night you will get a better appreciation for the diet’s worth. I dare say it is impossible to achieve or maintain balance on a day to day basis, but if you measure week by week or month by month, you can achieve a healthy balance. Try not to get wrapped up in the moment.

Let me know what you’re thinkin’!
