So Who's Got It All?

Today I think I got one of the best compliments I've received (this is considering the person who said it and what that person means to me in my life): Someone actually looks up to me - "I use you as an example to get me motivated. I see how determined you are and I want to be like that."
I'm someone who is still trying to "figure me out", let alone know what I'm doing or where I'm headed. But yet, this individual sees me as an example and appreciates the small things that I have figured out - w/ my issues, quirks, and all. I'm beyond flattered... (lol, this person is probably cursing me out silently for copying and pasting the compliment then posting it for the world to see) 0:)

I was talking w/ a collegue today about a woman's work-life balance, and if there even is such a thing as "Balance". I say "NO". There is no such thing, b/c I see it as how you deal, prioritize, perceive, and approach things to make it seem like you got it all "balanced" out. Of course I'm strictly talking about females b/c this is a HUGE topic for women everywhere: Can a woman really be a good mother, good wife, and good worker?

I think she'll be as good as she wants to be. This means if she's not happy at home/marriage/relationship/family, then she could choose to focus her time/passion/energy somewhere else, like in the office or in a hobby. Then there are some women who make it a point not to take work so seriously so their family lives can be as fulfilling as it can possibly be. BOTH rewards are great: the healthy and happy family vs. the distinguished and successfully accomplished woman (w/ the corner office of course) at work. There are women who can have 1, neither, or both.. now, which one thinks she "has it all"?

whoa, I've either been watching too much Sex & the City or I'm really taking advantage of a mental break from work (yes, I'm typing this all up from my desk @ work) =P

Song in my head: I ain't neva had nobody show me all the things that you done showed me, And the special way I feel when you hold me, We gone always be together baby that's what you told me...
