Living Like a Loved One; A Journey of Healing

I invite you to follow my day to day discoveries as I begin Living Like a Loved One, I lost my Uncle to cancer a year ago in late September. It's been a challenging healing process for the entire family, and I've decided that it doesn't have to be that difficult. During the next year, I will take the most special memories of my Uncle and bring them back to a reality in my day to day life. I hope this brings comfort and enlightenment to all who subscribe.

Finding Balance - Day 73 of 365

This blog is for Thursday December 9th, 2010

MEMORY -

Peter had a very balanced life. Just enough time at work, just enough time at home. I admire people who are able to maintain balance in an often unbalanced world, he was one of those people.

APPLICATION -

Today was one of those days. The day when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed and find yourself staying there all day long. I had no energy, unable to put any out into the world. I had lost balance and needed to gain it back. I asked myself "What would Uncle Pete do?" In a matter of minutes, I got a text from my mom confirming our evening plans with the family. A hearty dinner and a night of board games was exactly what I needed. Pete would stop the chaos of his unbalanced day and regain it by doing the things he loved in the company of those who loved him.

REFLECTION -

A balanced life begins and ends at home.
