To-- the --penny.
I
just spent the last few hours balancing our checkbook. I had gotten way
behind. I had gotten way behind because I totally despise anything
math. Oh, I'll do it, eventually. Like tonight, this was only part two
of my trying to get it balanced before my husband found out how far
behind I was. He trusts me to keep up with the checking account and I
do, I just don't document it as I should. Hopefully after this marathon
session of catch up, I'll do better.It did get me to thinking though of
all the balancing acts we do every day..
The
parents who work, who must balance their time between taking care of
their kids, their home and work. You have to get the kids ready for what
ever the plans are for the day. One must take care of their home and
make sure that it is kept clean and kept maintained. Work is that time
to time position where you do what is expected and hope to get home in
time to do what is expected there.
Then
you hope for a few moments personal time. No matter who you are, or
what your responsibilities, you hope for those few moments when its only
about you. Those moments where you can find a bit of peace, a bit of
calm in the midst of the every day storms.
You
balance your emotions moment to moment. Like those times when someone
feels it is perfectly okay to take an attitude and speak to you in a
manner that they would not accept in return. Not that you would do that.
You stay calm, when someone seems bound and determined to make things
difficult. You know the type, those who gather in the middle of the most
narrow of aisles in the store and hold a long conversation with the
neighbor they saw right before they left to come to the store.
You
balance your life. The time for work, for exercise, for play, for rest.
You balance your diet in the hope that it will help you to remain
healthy and able to balance everything else with less problems and
stress.
Balancing a check book, balancing one's life, its all a game of numbers.
