You are absolutely right, balance is the bane of my existence, when I get it right I'm going to record it so when I lose it again I know how to get it back. I'm finding I'm easily letting go of responsibilities I previously thought were important. I think that it's much easier for me now, since my children are teenagers, I'm not sure how I would have managed if they'd been young like Lindsay. Tahnks for taking the time to comment. :) Thanks Marie.

Never thought of that, will have to look into it. So far, vodka and cranberry has worked in a pinch. :) Diane – prozac. Never thought of that, will have to look into it.

Personally I think it’s something that you have for periods of time and then lose and have to regain as life continues to roll forward. Nothing in the world ever stays the same. I’ve known for more than 20 years that no one ‘can have it all’ – something has to give. Getting a divorce when my daughter was 5-1/2, having a full time job and a house that needed continuous upkeep meant choosing what was most important. My decision to forego a personal relationship was met with a lot of opinions by a lot of people who had no experience walking in my shoes. In the end our life is ours to live as best we can. Choose what works for you today – tomorrow will most likely bring another set of choices for you to make. I wish you all the luck in the world as you search for that balance.

There's a reason that they invented Prozac, I tell myself. I am glad that your career is going well! It really isn't easy, but it's YOURS. And we eat our bacon in junior bacon cheeseburgers from Wendy's.
