Balance

I've been thinking a lot this last week about what I perceive as a lack of balance in my life and what I can do about it.

The last year or so, but particularly the last 6 months, has been one of the hardest times of my life that I've ever had to go through. At one point I wished I could go back a couple years and change the way that things played out but I realized about a month ago that I've finally reached a point where even if things haven't been easy and I've made more mistakes than I care to admit to, I'm happy with the point that it's brought me to.

This month has been a difficult one, mostly feeling like it was just one thing after another being piled on me and I couldn't get a break and was definitely a little overwhelmed. Tonight I was thinking about my lack of balance and was kind of in a funk when I was reminded again that I have some really amazing friends, even some who know what I need to do to feel better when I can't figure it out for myself and they haven't stopped being there for me whether it was a good week, a bad week or just somewhere in the middle.

On the topic of balance though... it's one of my new things to work on. Not that I'm done with my other goals for myself, but they're solidly in progress and it seems like a good time to add a new undertaking. I'm so happy with the job I have right now and with where I'm living but the personal side of my life isn't where I'd like it to be. I feel like I've regressed a little from where I was a month ago and I can definitely see some of the reasons for that so I'm going to start working on that.

Anyways, it's definitely time for bed. Yay for my new blog. Even if nobody ever reads it, it feels good to have a place to just... get it all out.
