3-11-2010 - Need balance

I have reading a couple blogs and they seem to have a similar theme finding time to do what you want especially the need to be active on Spark. I know I can get really intense and have been about Sparkpeople and the commitment that is needed to really use it properly. Its the proper use of the tools and understanding how to apply the information to your life that makes the journey flow. In the last year I have run the entire gambit for ok...yeah....oh...wow...woooho
oo and I got it, I have tried to always find the balance in this journey and just in lifes journey. I had a dear friend who kept reminding me that as long as I keep balance I will succeed. he was a good friend and taught me to really listen to myself to ask questions and find the answers, he would never tell me an answer just ask more questions.
I like the time I spend reading and commenting here. I love to learn about my friends here and hope that I can encourage them and say the right thing. I do feel I must keep balalnced spending time here and using that time wisely. I have responsiblities here of course and love spending time with hubby.
I am going to keep things as they are and try to make sure I keep my focus when sparking on sparking so that I can get done what I want.
Tomorrow I am going to my uncle's funeral, I have not seen him or that side of the family since my dad died. things happened that hurt me personally and deeply, so I had to just disconnect. I grew up in Ill and they all lived in CA, we didnt see much of them, but i did love them all, they were my dad's family. Funny how one sided that can be. He was an older brother and has been ill for some time. I am going to meet my sister and attend the funeral, I am not sure if she had not been out here on a visit that i would have gone alone. I just dont know. I feel in part I am doing this out of respect for my dad and being there for him and our family.
So have a cool evening and great Friday!!!!
