It really is all about balance, isn't it?
I've been working a fair bit of late, and enjoying it. I really like all the girls I work with, and enjoy the work. Well, lets face it, anything is better then housework!!
But I've been very tired, and a bit grumpy....any comments about that sounding normal for me, and I'll kick you!!!
Today I was off. No work, and no housework! I decided that I needed time to do nothing. Well, nothing of any importance. Nothing that needed to be done. I had a nice day!
I sometimes feel guilty, needing time for myself. I know a lot of women, and a few men too, who do a lot more than I do and don't seem to feel it. But...and here's the insight for the day...they are not me! It doesn't matter what other people do or do not do. It doesn't matter how anyone else copes. I need a balance between work and non-work that includes time for me on my own. I think I've finally realised that the secret to balance is finding your own, not relying on what other people see as balance.
So, today I am thankful for accepting that my state of balance is not the same as anyone else's.
And if it gets me through what needs to be done in a healthier, happier frame of mind, then someone get me a tightrope!!
Gratefully yours.

That's a good observation. I often feel that I don't do enough as others do much more but as you say we are all different. Viva la difference! xx
