What a week, right? Getting ready to have all you want to accomplish done by "the day" just to find that you have forgotten something. It might not have been something big, major or even critical but still not everything you wanted to accomplish.
The problem is that you find that it is a perpetual battle to actually feel like you did everything you wanted. There seems to be a lingering feeling..."I could have done more". Whether it is get that special dish done, or buy that new blouse instead of throwing on the same one you wore last year, sit and have a conversation with someone you wanted to catch up with...any number of things on our never ending, long, getting longer list of things.
We know that taking care of "us" is best for us and then we want to take care of our loved ones and just those two things are feats in and of themselves. How do we let everyone else know how much we care without working twenty-four hours a day?
Seems like the more we do the more there is to do...balance each and every day is what we need to strive for and we don't always give ourselves permission to let the balance change or vary. We won't always be the same or give the same or want the same from others. We vacillate between so much it is a wonder that men find any way to understand us at all...LOL
We are beginning the 48th week of the year and it is daunting how fast each year goes by after you reach a certain age....young people don't believe it but time somehow speeds up and we run out of time before you have a chance to realize it. We are smart, successful, kind, loving, giving women, why can't we let go of some things that are not, or should not be as important as we make them? Balance what involves cultivating relationships before material things and don't let anything or anyone tilt your scale of balance without good reason. I can't say "DON'T" let it happen because it will. There is no point in trying to ignore those times but let it be for a really good reason.
This season as I try to balance the internal desires vs the external possibilities, I pray that we move forward with determination to get, as well as give and that at the end of the day we aren't lamenting that which we didn't get done. Just think about all that you have enjoyed, accomplished, given to others and received from others.
How will you or do you successfully find balance?????
