Balance? Maybe this year.

Balance

  Balance. 

       Seek balance. 

                    Balance. 

                         Balance will bless you. 

                                            Achieve Balance. 

  Balance is great, if you can reach it.  I wonder if the striving of balance in life is what is needed more than actually reaching it. You know, that whole idea of the journey being greater than the destination. Does anyone ever get "balanced" anyway? 

  Life is all about choices. When I'm focusing on my daughter, my husband doesn't have my attention. When my husband has my focus, my daughter does not. When they both have my focus, not much is spent on myself. Choices. Is it about seeking this phantom-like goal of "balance", or is it about simply making wiser choices throughout our day? The best choice that you can make in each moment throughout your day. Hmmm.. I think I have my word for next week... Choices. 

  What does balance mean to you? Comment below to let me know your thoughts.

Action Toward My Goals 

(Weekly Goal Update)

1. Daily Devotional/Bible Reading - Going well. I am reading on my ipad before getting out of bed and it has been a great start to my day.
2. Eat Better -  I am successfully using my Daily Health Tracker to keep count of my calories, and it is working.  
3. Be More Active - I felt better this week and began working with Jillian Michaels courtesy of my Amazon Prime membership and the Instant Videos available. She is tough. Really tough. But I have completed them 3 out of 4 days so far this week. Two more to go to hit my weekly goal. I feel confident I can do this. I have to say, I really enjoy the comments that Jillian (yeah, sure, I'm on a first name basis with her) makes at the end of the videos. 
4. Focus Computer Time - I'm getting there. Why does it seem that as soon as I can get organized, I give myself another project on the computer? At least this week's was fun and totally a family thing to do. 

  Now it is your turn. I invite you to join me in getting healthy or share with me how you have made your life healthier by joining my Healthy Life Linky Party. Healthy Life - whatever that means to you. I'm keeping this linky list open for the month of January and will have a new one for February. I will re-evaluate making it a shorter time, if it begins to fill up quickly.
