One Year

It's time to celebrate one year of blogging...and as they say- how the time flies! We've had our ups, our downs, our shannoning moments...but we've made it. And I'm better for it. My web log, or online journal, as I like to call it, is therapy for me. I've always loved to write- even from my childhood. But life gets hectic and usually the things that aren't "necessary" are the first to go. I think after one year on my quest for balance I'm learning that some of the things I thought were optional in life truly are "necessities". The more that I hold onto those sacred things, the more "me" I feel. Anyway, I know I'm a little out there today with my spacey thoughts...these allergy meds are starting to take their toll...

In honor of ONE YEAR I'm going to re-post my first post and thank the Lord above that I feel a little farther down the road than I did last year at this time.

Are there others out there like me? Women trying desperately to achieve the "ultimate balance"? This morning I was running late for work...Only to discover when I got in my car that the gas light was still on. I hate pumping gas. I had prayed all the way home last night just to avoid stopping...I just wanted to see the smiling face waiting for me at home. But there was no way out of it this morning-- I had to stop for gas. I ran in to grab a cup of coffee while the gas pumped wondering how I would make it to lunch without breakfast...Would I still make it to the gym this afternoon, oh yeah and I forgot to put the roast in the crockpot for dinner. That's when I thought-- "Surely I am not the only one in this world who feels this way." Surely there are others who wear as many hats as I do and sometimes wonder if any of them fit right...
