Balance

I truly believe that happiness in life comes from balance.  Unfortunately, I do not know how to keep the balance.  I always feel that my career takes too much of my time away from my family.  That I volunteer to help way too many youth groups. That I never take time off for me.  


My weekends are spent practicing for rodeos, doing the secretary work for rodeos, putting together events for youth horse groups, teaching youth horse groups and trying to start an online horse business related to rodeo.  My weekdays start with 8 to 9 hours of working at my career and then home to practice, teach or work on projects that I have volunteered for.  Plus I have a family so taking care of kids needs, laundry, groceries, cleaning and bills.  


Somewhere deep down, I must have that constant need to be busy so I don't have to delve too deep into personal issues.  After this next 4 day rodeo weekend that I am the secretary for, I resolve to find better balance in my life.  Better balance will make me a better parent, wife and person.

You are so right! As a mom I think we have the hardest time and our nature is to not take time for ourselves and focus on what really matters. I am behind you all the way on finding balance. Go for it and when you figure it out share your secrets with us. Just so you know I really look up to you and respect you a lot you have a great family and I enjoy being with you guys. You have taught me so much so thanks.
