Balance, tolerance, compromise, LOVE

Had to write a few things down about life today; not necessarily what is going on, but my thoughts of lessons and realizations I have about life in general and what I hope to gain, accomplish, and learn.

One is Balance. Learn to balance everyday chores, juggling schedules, caring, playing, and loving (my)children, giving and spending time with my husband, giving and spending time with extended family members is not an easy task. Everyone has to learn how to do this. Now that I will be opening the daycare again, the art of balancing all these things will be an even harder task. I hope I do it with patience and grace.

Second, is tolerance. It has been brought to my attention that I am a very determined and demanding person. That I have an expectation of how I accomplish tasks in my life, and expect others to accept my way of things. I am trying my hardest to learn to be tolerant of other people's ideas and thoughts about things that are important to me in my life.

Compromise, kind of goes with the idea of tolerance. Learning to compromise and deviate from what I think it right is not an easy task for me. I guess you would cal this stubbornness. But, I want to be a person whose is able to compromise with an open heart, yet not compromise so much that I am compromising who I am! Again, it is a unique balance I think!

LOVE! I am doing my best just to love and accept everyone in my life; Love everyone for who they are and what they have to share with me and my family. Learning to count my blessings in ALL circumstances is a lesson I am still learning.
