Balancing Time

Being home has been wonderful, trust me, but it has made me think about how spending time with my friends and family is truly a balancing act.  I care about my family immensely and I know how easy it is to neglect them when you see them every day.  That is why I strive to find time for them and not just my friends.  Life can get busy and we forget about those closest to us, not only in adoration, but also in proximity.  I am grateful to have come to this realization before it is too late to divide my time.  Being away at college has been of tremendous help in coming to this realization.  It made me more grateful for my friends and family at home and how important communicating with them effectively is.  I know how it feels to be left out and my eyes have been opened to how kids ignore their parents nowadays.  In no way am I perfect at balancing my time, but it is my goal to try my hardest, and balance my time as best as I can, while still making myself as well.
