Life temperature

I was recently reading something that talked about taking your "life temperature". Taking a step back and looking at whether or not you are really living IN your life? Is your life balanced (work vs. family vs. self) or are you just going through the motions? So I took the opportunity to look at my own life and "take my life temperature". I went through a couple of days and kept asking myself, am I happy? Do I wish I was somewhere else? Will I remember THIS day? And do you know, I think my life temperature is A okay. I enjoy getting up in the morning and going to work, but I enjoy 5 o'clock when it's time to go pick up the boys. I enjoy cooking dinner and eating with my family and I enjoy the volunteer work I am currently doing. I love the people that I work with, my family, my friends... I don't feel pressure and with everything I have going on, I really don't even feel overwhelmed. And because I now live with my camera not more than an arms length away, I think I WILL remember this day. My creative juices are flowing...what I really need now is a day off to scrapbook some of THESE days, these ordinary days, these ordinary days that make up my life and my life temperature.
