Seeking Balance


I've been traveling quite a bit during the last two months.   Mexico and Canada.  

I was in Tulum for a week.  I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful beach.  The ocean like bath water.  I don't want to be in an isolated resort far from town.  So many stores and restaurants walking distance from our hotel on the beach, so that worked for me.

Cancun.  Interesting to visit for the first time but I won't go back.

Two weeks in Mexico City.  What a contrast....staying in wealthy Polanco and working outside the city in the State of Mexico......a scary place.

Toronto.  I've been there like a 100 times, but fun to find new restaurants.   This time Indian and Turkish were the highlights.

Again I find myself in a situation of struggling to maintain work-life balance.   The story of my life.

I need to force myself to take vacation.  Force myself to do something relaxing.  What is fun or enjoyable for me?   I'm not sure I know.

Continuing to work runs the risk of overworking.  Stopping work runs the risk of boredom.  I wish I could be more in the middle.

  1. Sounds like quite a good time. Traveling is fun, especially when you have someone to go with you. Glad you were able to get away. Work a little bit, then plan another vacation. That might give you just the work-life balance you are looking for. Too much of anything is not good for you, so "they" say. I kind of like vacation a lot more than work. I am out all this week. I took a week last month as well. I could get used to this work a bit and go on vacation but I only have so much time and hold some in reserve just in case of emergency or illness. Take care!
