Here goes...

The kids are at camp, so I figured this was the best time to start a blog to share thoughts and experiences that life brings. Life is full of lessons learned from relationships, accomplishments, and even disappointments. I want to capture those lessons learned and record them so I can be a better wife, mother, daughter, nurse, and friend. As a woman and a mother there are pressures all around us to be everywhere, do everything, and have a smile on your face at the end of the day. Life is just not that simple. There is a balance of it all that brings peace and contentment at the end of the day. My goal is to find that balance and blend it together perfectly.
To add to the mix, my family is now what society calls a blended family, (husband and wife with his and hers that we now call ours) so we have to work harder at times to find that perfect balance that makes things work. It is challenging at times that requires a lot of give and take and working together.
In finding that that balance in the life I lead, one thing I know for sure is that your main ingredient has to be to have a relationship with our Creator who knows us inside and out, therefore without communication with Him we will never find peace or understand our real purpose. Filtering life through His Word will help life make sense when it is hard to understand and seems impossible to deal with. I have to remind myself of that daily. The rest of it I am still trying to figure out and has been and will continue to be a life long journey of ups and downs and lessons learned from experiences that come my way. Join me if you like... give me your thoughts and lessons learned in your own life.... Your recipe to that perfect blend.
