A Day A Weigh: Balance.

It has to be the answer.

I thought and thought and thunk all day yesterday and all day today about how I need to change the stress levels in my life. As I was doing the dishes it dawned on me......

I need to find balance.

It makes so much sense, doesn't it? Balance is the key to so much in the universe so why shouldn't it be here in my little home with my family & myself? In order for me to gain something I want/need, then I must give up something in return. Right?

I looked up a little on finding balance in one's life and I found the following the most interesting and the most fitting to my life.

Say no to the unimportant.... as a woman, is this possible?

Simplify your life.... need to think on this one.

Get organized.... what in the Hell is that?

Routine.... I crave one.

Exercise & health.... working on it!

Live in the present... yesterday is gone, tomorrow isn't here yet.

Live repectfully..... character & integrity are important to me. Very!

Spirituality.... get back into getting to Mass regularly. I love how it sets my week and clears my mind.

*****************************

Tomorrow I'm starting on reducing the stress in my life. To begin .... I'll be getting to church with my sweet family and sit by them with pride. When I get home I'll get busy on organizing my week by doing this:

Laundry, for me, Darren and the girls. By doing this, Darren will have clean socks every morning..... the girls will have clean jammies, and I'll have something nice to wear everyday. And I can sleep.
Plan meals..... by doing this, I'll not have to stare at the cupboard at 4pm every night wondering what the heck I can make with a can of beans and salt.
Get my outstanding orders listed, cut and ready to sew Monday morning.
Exercise. That dreadmill is in my room calling to me. Last night I was on it for 25 minutes and I think I actually liked it. Weird.
Pluck my eyebrows..... it'll make me feel pretty.

This list doesn't seem too daunting and kinda sorta seems accomplishable.... is that a word?
