I was going to give you a self portrait in lieu of a post, but I thought I should share with you that I'm struggling right now to stay on top of things. It only took 10 days for me to get here, but I'm already questioning my sanity in pledging to blog every day this month. I'm so overwhelmed by everything else in my life. I went back to work full time this fall. And while I love being out of the house more, I am finding it a challenge to adjust to now being stuck in a store away from home for days at a time. And also, being so stupid tired every single day. I know it's partly the weather and lack of sunshine, but dang! I barely make it through dinner. Never mind trying to get anything much done around here. I keep telling myself that I will adjust. I will, right?
:: sigh ::
Will I ever figure out how to juggle all of it? I do wonder if I'm incapable. Seems that when I have one part of my life going so well, the other two thirds start to mould over like that half used container of yogurt at the back of your fridge. Or maybe that's just my fridge.
Finding balance seems to be a recurring yet elusive theme for me. I don't seem to achieve it easily. I also recognize that I have this expectation of everything being perfect at all times, anything less being failure. Which, okay, I get is wrong on many levels. Still, I want all my stars to align.
So I'll throw this out there - how do you maintain balance in your life and what's your definition of balance. And which is more important? What defines balance or the actual achievement of it? Chicken or the egg?
