This week was a flurry of physical activity, from daily workouts and running up and down the stairs at work, to the 8.5-mile hike I struggled through yesterday.
This week felt slightly busier than the last, in part because I wrapped up a huge corporate impact report for work and as a result, I wasn’t as diligent with waking up earlier and working out. You can’t win them all! Luckily, I fit in a workout this morning, which made my brain and my body happy.
This week was the first week in a long time that I felt like things were (back) in balance. I know the concept of balance is tricky, though, and so I don’t hold too strongly to the notion of responding perfectly to life’s evolving demands. Life is meant to become out of balance—some weeks we work more to push through a big project, other weeks a sick child needs our attention. Life ebbs and flows as it will, and that’s okay.
