Words that Inspire

Last week I was inspired by my friend Shannon. She talked about identifying a single word that sums up what you want for yourself in 2009? It can be something tangible or intangible. It could be a thought or a feeling or an emotion. I have found my word! It is Balance.

The key to keeping your Balance is knowing when you've lost it. Anonymous

I really need balance in my life. I am one who hyper-focuses on one thing or another, which can really throw me off balance. As I go through this year, I look forward to this constant reminder. This is my new years resolution.

We come into this world head first and go out feet first; in between, it is all a matter of balance. Paul Boese
