Balance

Balance. What is it? What does it look like? Each perspective can vary depending on the person and chapter of their lives. Balance for one may look like mulit-tasking; making dinner and talking on the phone while letting something simmer while putting the clothes in the dryer, then putting someone on speaker while you chat, then respond to a text that you have received while already talking to someone on the phone. Whoooowwwee, that makes me tired just thinking about it. Real life right there. At the end of the day, although we may have been able to mark things off our to-do list.....Was there quality there? Or, was it just quantity to us?........I say this because this is my daily struggle.....Did I actually pay attention? Was I present? Did I do my best? Do we as people feel more accomplished by how many lines we can put on over the things we want to get done? How do you balance life? Work, side jobs, school, family, friends, extra stuff, play dates, relaxation, alone time with God.....I'm sure I'm missing a few but really.....how?
