Juggling on a balance beam

My life often feels like a 3 ring circus, and since I'm going to be accountable, I will own the reality that I create this circus.To top it off I'm so hard on myself and the expectations I have of what I can get done I take my circus and get on that balance beam. Trying to make it all happen. The craft mom, gourmet chef, health freak, active humanitarian, church going, top employee, sister, friend, daughter, I can't even breathe because the list goes on and on. That sounds crazy doesn't it. I mean think about it, back in the 50's when women stayed home with the kids and had dinner made by the time their husband came home, they didn't run a taxi service they ran nightly to and from sports, the pressure from a long day at work, responsibility for the checks and balances. It is easy to look on social media and feel down about everything you're not doing, because you are watching glorified specialties in your face. I have come to realize everyone has issues, and struggles, and we are all going to put our best foot forward and only our best foot to others. So today I breathe, knowing I'm doing the best I can, and I'm doing a pretty good job, and I bet you too are. We need to live in the reality that we are doing the best we can, considering each of our circumstances. Thanks for reading.
