January Endings

January is almost over and no more posting from me which can only mean I've been too busy balancing.  I truly have,

Took in the movie American Sniper with Ken .  Good movie. The local theater has been updated since our last visit and it's quite impressive.  Just like sitting at home in the recliner.

Some of the quilts that have been done recently.

My Balancing Act of Life

No resolutions for me in the new year.  I don't seem to keep them.

However the word BALANCE comes to mind for me in 2015.  I have a need to get my life in balance.  It has been anything but balanced.  Some days it's like being on a boat that is rocking back and forth.  Thus far I've been able to hang on.

To me "Balance of Life"  is a state in which different things have an equal or proper amount of importance.  Balance is a means of judging or deciding my mental and emotional steadiness right along with my physical and along with all the other aspects of life.   It's important to keep your life in balance.

Time for my personal balancing act to begin.  That personal part is pretty basic, but oh so hard to keep at it.  That being my commitment to getting myself into shape.  There that says it all.  You know whether it's doing it at home or at the gym it has to become a routine.  It also includes watching what I consume.  Eliminating what I know are my most vulnerable areas is where I am starting.   Drinking calories...... out.  Portion control has to be addressed.  Snacking in the evening after dinner....out.  It sounds so easy but know it won't be.

There are many other areas in my life that need to be balanced and they will be addressed, but first off I must get my personal self  off to a good start this year.  I know when I exercise each day or at least 5 days a week and I eat less and healthy,  my body is good back to me.  I will have more energy to deal with the rest of my life that needs balancing, which are running my business, being a caregiver and anything else that involves running a household. I plan to write about my balancing act as the year goes on.

So here is to a Wonderful New Year to anyone that reads this and I'd also like to be a better blogger from here on out.  I just didn't take the time or the energy needed in the past.
