But you know, I find that even when I focus on my work - appreciating that I have it, savoring how much I enjoy it, I find that balance restored.Barbarahttp://theexpatfreelancer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997789583912715881.post-32766535234461138152011-04-13T07:25:36.313-07:002011-04-13T07:25:36.313-07:00What a thoughtful and inspiring post Barbara!

But still I often need to stop, look around and simply live, in the moment.Kasia Dietzhttp://www.loveinthecityoflights.comnoreply@blogger.com
