Last year I created a personal manifesto or list of intentions for living in 2011. This year, as I face such a busy start to the year, I have compressed my manifesto into one word…
balance
As I look ahead at the busyness of living, parenting, work commitments, a rather large writing task (which I will share more about soon), Immy starting school, as well as being pregnant and preparing for a new baby and the impact he/she will have on our family, I need to take a deep breath and work at maintaining a sense of balance.
bal˙ance
1. a state of equilibrium or equipoise; equal distribution of amount, etc.
2. something used to produce equilibrium; counterpoise.
3. mental steadiness or emotional stability; habit of calm behaviour, judgment, etc.
I am guessing I will particularly need to focus on the third definition point!
Do you have a family or parenting related resolution for 2012?
