My life has been feeling very unbalanced lately. With working more hours at my job, and my husband losing his job, it seems like I haven't been able to get grounded. Today I finally feel like I'm making progress in the right direction.
On Friday evening I spent the night at a B & B in New York Mills, had dinner in Perham and scouted around Battle Lake on Saturday. I was able to catch up with my friend and see parts of Minnesota that in my 51 years had not been visited. We also went to see Eat, Pray, Love which gave me some renewed insight into getting balance in your life. I had read the book but somehow seeing it on the big screen at a time when I was seeking made it more relevant.
My husband is gone on a camping trip so I have a whole day to myself. I woke up at 7:00 a.m. and since then have gotten all my bills up to date, filed a pile of papers that have been sitting there staring at me for weeks, did some much needed weeding in my flower gardens, cleaned up some other clutter, tidied up the spare bedroom and cleaned the bathroom. It's not even noon yet!! Now I plan to have a light lunch and take a nap and enjoy the fresh breezes and the lower humidity. When I get up I'm going to do some more cleaning and start reading a new book.
I already feel the scale tipping in the right direction.
Thought for the day: Happiness is not a matter of intensity, but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony....Thomas Merton
