As I entered into 2020, I couldn’t decide on my word of the year. Nothing was coming to mind until I realized what I kept saying over and over. I need to make sure I have balance in my life. Duh! Balance naturally became my word for the year.
Sometimes I get so focused on the tasks at hand that I can’t see the forest through the trees. The last couple of years have been so crazy and filled with changes that I’ve been way too focused on to-do lists and chores while forgetting to do things that are just plain enjoyable. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love homestead life and taking care of my family, but somewhere along the way, I’ve lost some of the joy that comes with stepping away from the everyday routine.
It’s during these times that I need to take a step back and find some balance in my life. One of the ways that I find some balance is heading outdoors and enjoying nature. This year, we’re going to be making more time for outdoor fun. That means purposefully making plans to step away from the to-do lists and chores.
We live in an amazing state for exploration and outdoor fun. It’s time to really get out there and start enjoying it more again. It’s time to find the balance between work and fun.
