Jan 3rd and I've Already Slipped...

[Squeak]

So, yesterday I posted a layout on my word inspiration for 2010, Balance, and tonight I happened to be looking at the comments. (Thanks for those, by the way. ) The thing is, I'm looking at the DD site...from work. It's Sunday night in California and I'm at work, and this is not atypical for me. Sigh. This balance thing is going to be harder than I thought!

Yep, like Katrina said. Just breathe in and out . . . I love your avatar, by the way! You'll get there. I had an up and down year, but in the end, I feel like I made a lot of progress.

Whoops! I meant to post this in the NSBR Chit-Chat forum. Sorry about that! Randy, please move this thread as appropriate.

Sarah and Katrina, thanks for the encouragement. I'll keep trying!

P.S. The goodies on my avatar--all DD.

I suppose it would be easier just to choose a new goal and a new word for 2010 ('indulge' comes to mind...), but it's a bit too early in the year for that.

Oh I re-read your initial post. I thought you meant you were slipping as in balance by stopping in for a digi fix while you were at work! LOL

Now I get it, you were actually at work on a Sunday night. tsk tsk

Maybe the balance is that you've actually recognised it and will put it to rights. Just a different way of thinking about it.

LOL...I thought the same as Carol! I need some balance there too!!
Ya know, I have struggled in mine already too...but falling is not failing...failing is not getting up and trying again.
You can do it!!

LOL you guys! Yes, I see that--I could have worded my initial post a bit better. Funny--as much time as I spend at the DD site (and it's a lot!), I don't think that part of my life is out of balance.

I love that layout, Shirley! And, I think that your plan to add more "balance" in your life is a great one . . . I need to do the same. We should be next door neighbors and work together on this one . . . it is a biggie. I'll just bet that 99 % of the gals here could use balance as their word of the year too.

If any of your are the 1% who have a balanced life speak up and tell us your method of achieving it!!!

balance is a word we probably all need in our lives---I sure do.

It's a continual process for sure... although, if you are checking out DD while at work, I'd say you have your priorities in mind!

[anke]

what in the world is balance, it gets worse as we age anyway And then I agree with Elena, you know what's important

[Chris]

I gave up trying to be balanced alone, and my lopsided self relies on it's fairly opposite second half to keep from falling completely. See....so we're pretty balanced as a couple!
Your page was really good BTW!

I'm in that 99% that could use more balance for sure. But then how would ANYTHING ever get accomplished!! lol. If you make progress this year, be sure to let us in on the secret formula. BTW, Love the layout
