a balancing act

I wasn't planning on any blogging this week as we are on a holiday. we're traveling through Jordan together with 2 other families... we've been at the Dead Sea, walked through Petra, spent a night in the Wadi Rum desert and are now in Amman before we go back to Cairo on Friday.

why I am blogging now? my oldest woke up with an aching body and fever ...she did join our sightseeing trip around lunchtime, but after a while I went straight back to the hotel with her and she is now resting in bed and with that giving us all a bit of rest and a quiet evening in the hotel.

I am looking at my two girls curled up in bed watching a movie right now...the little one worried about her big sister... my love enjoying a good book and enjoying this so needed holiday from his work...me...I love this little family of mine and while looking at them right now I had to start thinking about balance...this oh so well known balance in whatever we do, eat, love, play, work, exercise...it's everywhere and sometimes we tend to forget where it starts...within!

as this holiday now takes place with 2 more families, for sure not everything can be done the way I/we want it...once more, we have to find the right balance. we're "on tour" for 5 days now and luckily it took me only our one hour flight to realize that it is all about working on and stabilizing my balance!
not that this was/is such an easy task...I had quite a wobbly eagle in my practice a few days ago :-)...still I try to stay within and balance myself and with that my family and with that we might manage this balancing act...

right now it's all about having a quiet evening and getting this big girl of mine back on track...so I'll draw my attention back now and leave you with a beautiful picture of me and my big girl, trying to balance our tree after walking over 800 stairs up to the monastery in Petra...
