The house is clean, the girls are happily fed, my sweetie is reading a favored novel while having his morning coffee, and I am quietly just taking it all in.

Observing every nook and cranny of my home and of my life, wondering what’s working and what can be improved upon.

Always tweaking and futzing with the here and the theres.

My aim is not for perfection.

My aim is for balance.

Balance in my home, balance in my career, balance in my relationships, and balance in my life.

Balance is something that sometimes feels like a a daily struggle.

A fight between good and evil.

A fight that I am determined to win.

But here, in the quiet of this morning, the fight is gone, the battle won, and it is in this quiet moment that I have found peace.
