We are already one third of the way through this month! The days seem to go by so quickly. It is hard to make sure that each day is balanced with attention being paid to each of my balance wheel segments. So, today, I will review the day's activities in terms of being balanced.
Today, as always, the day started with devotions (Spirituality). Later, I went to the office (Career) and had a productive day. During my lunch break, I walked to the nearby library (Health/Exercise; Hobbies/Crafts). I borrowed two magazines, a book on quilts and a book about washi tape Christmas crafts. My daughter has been using washi tape to decorate some things, including the planner she made for herself, so I thought she'll be interested in the Christmas crafts book.
After I came home, I wrote an email to one of my nieces (Family), cleaned out the fridge (Environment), took the trash can and recycling bin out to the curb (Environment), visited a bit with one of my neighbors (Friends/Community), and watered the back garden (Environment).
I also video chatted with my daughter (Daughter). We paid her fall semester tuition, today (Finances) and discussed plans for her visit home.
For dinner, I made a chicken and vegetable soup, using the remainder of the chicken breast I had pan roasted, some time ago, some chopped celery, a carrot and two small potatoes, cut up. It made a very frugal meal (Finances) and the vegetables made it healthy, too (Health); there's enough for tomorrow's dinner, as well (might add some frozen corn to it, to vary it a bit).
So, while it was an ordinary day, I was able to touch on several segments: Spirituality, Career, Health, Hobbies/Crafts, Family, Daughter, Friends/Community, Environment, and Finances. So, all in all, a pretty good day.
Today, I am grateful for family, friends, libraries, orange blossoms which make the garden smell wonderful, and a balanced day. :)
Do you strive for balance each day? Do you review your day to see if you were able to touch upon each segment of your life?
you balanced out your day very well.. and achieved a lot.. Have a great week.
