Bein...OMGosh! thank you thank you for posting this. Being in the throws of motherhood myself, I often wonder if there really IS a balance out there to be found. still working on it. But I LOVED your post, and found it incredibly helpful and insightful! Thank you so much! Finding time to clear my head and focus on what is most important in my day is crucial. something I am not very good at! Thanks so much!Sarah Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13726535086767140744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453353617333559613.post-86256033023388464452009-02-09T16:12:00.000-07:002009-02-09T16:12:00.000-07:00Ah, yes, the attempt to keep the balance! I know ...Ah, yes, the attempt to keep the balance! I know of many women who struggle here - myself included. I, too, had the wise council of a group of older women shortly after I birthed that first boy. They all told me that there will be my time but to enjoy the present time growing those babies because it is so precious and fleeting, as we're learning. I don't regret one minute of putting myself on hold for those boys who are my joys AND that does not mean that I also have days of pure frustration that I have not had my time. Then I simply remind myself that at some point there will be oodles of time and I will yearn for some sweet boy to invite me to a game of monopoly. With that said, yes, I believe it is critical to take time for yourself each day - doing your art, re-charging your own batteries, restoring your creative soul, in some way, however small. It is one reason I have taken to knitting recently because I can do it while watching a game of you name it. <BR/> AND on the subject of yoga, having practiced yoga for a full year now, I highly recommend it. Just realize that there are many forms of yoga and you should find the class that is right for you. I am to the point now where if I miss a week, I crave it!<BR/><BR/>Best wishes with keeping the balance!
