“Imagine life as a game in which
you are juggling five balls in the air.
You name them . . .
work, family, friends, health, and spirit . . .
and you’re keeping all of these in the air.
You will soon understand
that work is a rubber ball.
If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four balls…
family, friends, health, and spirit…
are made of glass.
If you drop one of these, they will be irreparably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered.”
~ James Patterson

One of my goals in life is to show that
you can have a family and a career,
be happy in both aspects of your life,
and enjoy each day to the fullest.
It is a day-to-day juggling act.
However, if you enjoy what you do in both worlds,
then the juggling act is worth it.
