Life in Balance

We all know how important it is to have a balanced life. 
Yet it is so hard to fine time for the things we want to do, because our real life is so busy.
I have a full time job, then I come home and try to keep my house together, cook a meal, clean up. 
Now I am too tired to do the thing I want to do like swimming, crafting, or just watching a little tv without feeing like I should be doing something more productive.

As an Occupational therapy assistant I know the importance of a balanced live, and how we should have all the components balanced. Work, rest, and play. But how many of us just have work and rest with very little time for play. And we wonder why we are cranky and tired all the time. Live is not fun most of the time, especially if you have to have a spotless house, 
and home cooked meals every day.

I am learning to let the little things go a little, and not do major cleaning every week, and I don't cook every night any more. I want time for swimming, crafting, going to a movie.
I am learning to schedule my time in the evening to get some crafting done a few days a week.
I am still a work in progress, and I am still cranky sometimes.

Anyway, just had that on my mind and wanted to share.

Here are some of the fun craft things I did this week.



And by the way, i wrote this blog sitting outside after an evening swim.  I didn't cook and my house is a little dusty.

Thanks for stopping by.
