SMACK! Yup, there you have it.  Here I thought moving along everyday in this great book would be just something I do, I’m going to get it this time, life will just unfold for the first time.

Getting a journal was fairly uneventful, writing 5 things I’m grateful for each day so far so good, simple gifts (those are the little things in life I’m always talking about and trying to appreciate), Sense of Order: yeah I’ve been on that band wagon for years, “Less is More”. 

Now Harmony: Achieving Balance in Our Lives…I think there are probably 100’s of 1,000’s of folks out there that struggle with this everyday.  Right along side of me.  There’s the house, the kids, the job, the bills, the dogs, the van, the errands, the the the…endless cycle of stuff that needs to be done. 

Have you ever seen the circus act where they spin a whole bunch of plates on poles at the same time?  I have often joked that my job is to constantly make sure we don’t have any wobbler’s or God forbid broken plates.  But, life is so like that.  I am always juggling something.  In fact today is merely the 17th of January.  Only 17 days into the new year.  I have stated some of my goals for the year, I’ve started reading this book, I’ve started trying to carve out some “ME” time.  Yes, already the natives are restless, baulking, and well down right not very helpful.  This will probably be my hardest battle.  How do I find Harmony and Balance?

Well I will have to keep you updated on that one.  For now I’m taking the time to read, journal, and write on here.  Some days I’m sure will be better than others. 
I will take one day at a time, baby step if I have too.  By the end of 2012 I want to know I have found some peace and harmony that has lead me to discover who I am again.

Keep cheering me on…..I will cheer you on too!
