Life is a Balancing Act

The Good News Today Is....I have vacation time. I'm only taking a half day off today so we can travel to be with family for the week-end. I just feel fortunate to be able to get a change of pace and not have to stay at work until 5:00 and try to drive 4 hours after that. It's important to take breaks and to have the time to be with family. I'm so lucky to work in a place where even if I didn't have accumulated vacation time, I have a boss who recognizes the value of friends and family - and he would let me leave to be with them whenever I needed to. I have worked other places where it was all about if you had earned the time - not about if you needed the time. We all need time to nurture our relationships, we need time to be alone to talk with God and we need time to get our work done. Too much time spent doing any one of these things and we would be out of balance. "There is a time for everything, and every season for every activity under heaven." Ecc 3:1 This will be my first break from posting to my blog since I began in November - I won't have access to a computer for two whole days. Have a blessed week-end!
