There are times when it feels like the whole world is crashing around me, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. It was one of those days.  I'm so very thankful to have a job in such a tumultuous economic time in our country, even though ultimately it means working long, irregular hours away from this sweet, little boy and my wonderful husband. While I try not to focus on going back, it manages to linger in the back-burner of my mind. How will I ever find this balance I crave to play the various roles in life that are so important to me? When will there ever be enough time?

And then this popped into my inbox:  Quality vs. Quantity

Indeed, it seems that Daily OM had this message in mind for me. Quality versus quantity. I have learned that I focus too much on quantity of time spent with someone or pursuing something, instead of remembering that the quality of time I spend doing these things is far more important...even if it's but for a small segment of time.

And so it is- my first real lesson in embracing time and the space in between.
