Finding the balance

LOVE
A strong predilection, enthusiasm, or liking for anything.

Photo by :David Leon - Another Springtime

Just looking at this photo has me dreaming of spring, gardening, and playing outside.  Today my week long stay home vacation begins - I have been feeling somewhat scattered for sometime now so hopefully this week will give me time to daydream, to play and to laugh. Time to go to the gym, time to shop and time to sit and play video games when the kiddo is at school! ( seriously I will be) but best of all time with Jay.
 
If March break wasn't around the corner and a possible family vacation in April, we would pull Em from school for the week to spend extra time with her. Day dates!!!! Yeah!!! Movies, lunch out , walks and all. We have always taken a day here or there to spend with each other, for us this is really an important part of our family life.
 
I have learned a lesson in parenting and in life over the last year or so, balance is something you have to work at achieveing. It is not something that just happens. Time for yourself, time for your life as an adult and time for family and friends. All must be considered and worked on. It is not easy to stop and look at how that is all suppose to happen in life -- but the benefits begin to almost immediately!
