Settled back into home life...

Comment Published at 19:4919:494 comments4 comments241 Visits241 VisitsReport
Yay, I have no sickness to complain about and feel quite relieved I am not travelling right now. It is a worry that the threat against travellers is becoming more global. I also don't know what I would have done without any carry on luggage, but I would have definitely have been happy to comply and I would be a little freaked out by the international threat, travelling by myself.

I feel for those travellers who are travelling right now and who must be so eager to get home to their families.

But I am back into the routine and planning to fill out invites for Codi's 2nd birthday, yay! I wonder what type of cake I am going to make...he likes stars, and is into squares at the moment and boxes with picutres on each side...gees I love family life. I am proud to be a mother and you know I try and practice what I preach and aim to balance things out with business. I guess I have gone from one extreme to another...and I have finally found my balance.

That doesn't mean I don't fly out of wack from time to time, I guess my thirties will be about watching myself get back into balance. I still haven't squeezed in a massage for myself yet...why am I thinking about balance?...I guess I try to find people to learn from... I learnt once at an investment function about also having a 'balanced portfolio' of life...cool idea hey? I thought so...

He mentioned to draw a circle and cut the circle into sections that represented, friends, family, you, work (being a mom) and partner, doing a check every now and then to see what's out of balance and where you thought 'you' and the other sections sat? here's mine at the moment...

balanced portfolio of life...
...yes, I'll take one of those please.

Actually I don't think I'm doing to badly. I came up with this theory in the car last week. I think there are 4 areas of life we need to get straight in order to feel balanced.

Physical (making sure we are fit, healthy and spend some time on appearance etc)
Mental (making sure we keep our brains stimulated and challenged)
Emotional (happy with our family and friends and have people to talk to - we've all got that on Minti!)
Material (we all need things. Clothes and TVs and soft pillows and chocolate)

Doesn't make a very good acronym though.
