Today is the second day of the A-Z Blogging challenge. Today's letter is "B". The word that I am blogging about today is Balance and trying to achieve mental and emotional steadiness.
We work hard each day to keep our life in balance. We have to fit in the things we have to do and the things we want to do. Some days I feel somewhat crazy with everything I must do. Emotionally, this takes a toll on me and I can't give anyone my best. This is where we have to go over our priorities. What is really important in our lives? Is there something that we could live without and still be happy? Do we really need to work those extra hours and sacrifice the time that we could spend with our loved ones?
My Dad passed away three weeks ago. Enduring a great loss like this has made me re-think many things in my life. The things that used to be important, are now not high on my priority list anymore. Spending more time with my kids and doing fun things together has jumped to the top of my list. Time comes and goes quickly. Before we know it our kids are grown and we have gotten old. I am grateful that I was very close to my dad and took the time to get to know him and always show my love for him.
I challenge all who are reading this,take a good look at your life. Try to figure out how to have a more balanced life. This will bring more happiness to you and those you love.
