Let's Talk...

Balance
My friend Renee told me yesterday that we have 64 days until Christmas. I didn't check, but it sounds about right. With all the stress in the news these days and all we do in our lives, how is your "balance"? Mine is unsteady but I am doing alright. It isn't easy but I try to keep things moving along at an easy pace. I must say that I have had to change somethings lately; one is not watching the news. I just can't. It depresses me... maybe it is the tone they use on the news shows. So I read the news online. I am very guarded about my peace. Peace is very important to balancing your life, in my opinion.
I pray all the time too. When in the shower, in the car, walking across campus etc. I prayed when I dropped my vote into the mailbox the other day. I don't think I can pray enough.
I try to be around only those people that add joy etc (nothing negative) to my day or time. I must say I love coming here to see my blogging friends.
So that is a little on how I balance my life... How about you?

Hi Danna! First off, I am sorry to hear that your friend has breast cancer. She is blessed to have you to encourage her & to walk this road with her. I hope too, that your Mom does take her meds & that she is soon out of the hospital.

I loved your post on balance. This is one thing that I have been trying to get. Since becoming a "Nana/Mommy" (Emily calls me Mommy & Elliot calls me either Nana, Mom or Nana/Mommy), it's been difficult to sometimes get this. I do pray often - even as I clean house, ect. I try to spend time with God each day, reading His Word. I too don't watch much news (if any), I also make sure I get a bit of 'me' time each day. If I didn't have a little girl tugging at me here, I could write more, but she has decided that she wants me. :-) Anyway - I so enjoyed your post. You sound like someone that I would just love to sit down with & chat an afternoon away. Sending you big hugs!
