To stop the balancing act

Yesterday, I stumbled across a web site that suggested finding a single word.. a word that would become the daily inspiration for the next year.  Wow!! I thought, so much easier than the list of new year's resolutions I could write and then promptly break :) 

Has anyone else noticed the number of ads for weight loss and fitness programs there are around at the moment?  So this year I'm not going to make a list...  I have found my WORD!!

During the night, at some ridiculously late hour (or is it early hour?) when my mind wouldn't stop and I was tossing and turning, my word for 2014 entered my mind... one of those God moments I think because this word seems so right... and one I can't imagine I would have thought of without His prompting.

So the word to inspire my days this year is:  BALANCE

At this point I'm not sure what that might mean...

I searched the freedictionary site and found some definitions.. that might be the starting point...

But tonight I want to say what I hope it won't mean...   the phrase 'balancing act' is a very apt description of my 2013... too much doing ... not enough being and breathing and sharing with those who are important... simply juggling my time and energy between so so many things.

So this year, my prayer and my inspiration is for Balance without the act...
