Coffee & Words:: Balancing Act


You will be surprised how often the subject of balance comes up with so many women.  Trying to balance being mom, wife and at the same time maintain career, social life, along with everything else, on a daily.  



There are days when I have to set aside my to do list in order to cuddle with my little guys and just allow myself to have some down time, there are also days when I wish I could be at two places at once, but that's not possible. So instead I just push through and pray for God's continued guidance and focus and remind myself, that it's "Not My Doing But God's Doing."

The balancing act that works for me, may not be the same that works for you.  I recently had a house cleaner come to my home in order to help me maintain cleanliness; that's what works for me. I sometimes have to clear my head with a glass of wine after a long day of juggling it all; that's what works for me. I also have to find time in the mornings to read the word, in order to get myself going; that's what works for me. These are some of the things that allow me to have that feeling of balance in my life.

Will I ever have complete balance in my life?  Probably not, but at least I feel a sense of knowing that I have done my best to endure the tasks ahead and that's all that matters.

You have to keep in mind that balance comes from doing what you can do, and not putting pressure on yourself to do what you can't do.  How do you maintain balance in your life?
