Finding balance...

I adopted the tradition of choosing a word rather than making specific New Year's resolutions.  For the past three years I have been stuck on the same word...balance.

I am a work-aholic, constantly moving and doing- sitting still makes me antsy.  Just ask anyone in my family who has tried to get me to sit through a movie.

Along with lack of balance comes the "oh I can do that!" syndrome.  It's sort of like being hungry and putting more on your plate than you can eat.  I put more on my to-do list than I can possibly accomplish in one day.

And you know what?   I'm tired.

Stripping wood, layer by layer...

I think this upcoming trip will be good for me to revaluate my work schedule.  I've been going non-stop this summer and I need to schedule in some down days.  I say that, but watch- I will probably come home and fill my plate up beyond my capability to ingest it all.

How do you stay balanced?   Work, kids, home, hobbies, blogging....any tips are appreciated!
