Rest and Relaxation

I just realized today that I have not been at work for two weeks now but I still have been on the go. Today, Daddy, C.J. and Mommy stayed indoors and lounged all day long. I mean for the first day in a long time I did not step foot down the stairs at all. For Daddy this is a good thing because he can always find a reason to head outdoors. So when he sits inside and gets true relaxation it is a very, very good thing.

I said to Mommy today that when it is time to return to work I do not know what I will do. C.J. and I have been hanging out for a bit now and we both seem to be getting really comfortable with that arrangement. Unfortunately we both know it must come to an end and we will have to get back to our busy lives of going and coming.

As I sit and relax at home I can only think about balance. At this point in my life I am involved in a lot of things. I can truly say that I am not balanced though. I am working towards balance but I would have to grade myself with a C-/D+. Balance is something I want C.J. to see as she grows up. It would be my prayer that she is pretty active in a variety of things. However, when one is pulled in a number of directions that person must be able to give 100% towards all in equal intervals of time. I have to master that now so she will have a strong example at home.

There are some things I have to still delete from my schedule. Some events I will have to miss. I have to read more at home, do constructive work at home, engage in exercise and recreational activity. All of this while going to work, doing what I need for church and making sure the family spends time together. It is important that I promote a balanced lifestyle now so C.J. is able to grow right into the mold. Which in turn would help her be successful in whatever she puts her mind to.

So another day is coming to an end. It has been another day full of blessings from the man upstairs. I know that with him balance will be achieved and C.J. will have her example when she needs it. Please pray for me...a lot is on my mind. I am turning it all over to God so I know things will be alright. So remember to pray because prayer always changes things. Be blessed.

Note to C.J.: When you are really involved with a lot of different things you must balance your time. When you start something you finish it and you must put 100% into all you do. So plan carefully so you do not get overwhelmed and begin to cheat yourself and not put your all into what you are doing. I love you very much Princess C.J.!
