problems she had throughout her lire trying to hold the A reins over three mules with style and case The three A mules being a job children and a husband I would have lo Include three additional mules friendships relaxation and my own personal needs One conclusion I reached is that a well balanced life depends on the decision as to how much energy we re willing to give for what wc want in return Realizing every person has her own allotment of j energy it atill adds up to 100 per cent We usually dole it out on things that interest us the most or on the things In our life It is Imperative do Time study I decided to do a time study on myself measuring the energy spent and analysing the important of the activity This is my finding per cent la used up during the first hour of the day Between seven and eight in themornlng there are bad tempers to soothe socks to find fights over time allotted for the bathroom breakfasts to prepare school books and lunches to be in readiness for the exodus By am a husband and three sons are dispersed thank God the fourth son is of an age he now takes care of his own morning ana is gone before the rest of us get up otherwise I might have to add another per cent of energy spent per cent expended as I prepare myself for the day Bathing dressing eating arranging Itinerary I per cent Is returned to me as I drive to work This time of the day is a joy to me it my lime alone I restore my energy reserve as I sing along with the radio at the top of my lungs and smile at the truck drivers It a always such a harmless egobuilding way lo flirt with a man per

anyone with a family knows can draw on more energy than one would imagine From the preparation of the dinner to the washing up of dish and the am trig of lunches for the following day one depletes what little Is left of the day a energy per cent seems to be the figure left and this has to be classified under relaxation and recreation Our vitality Some days the percentages get all screwed up and fall differently It interesting to study one self and see how we really expend our vitality on what means the moat to us It really does work out to more than what is imposed upon us in the long run 1 cant believe the excuse that a mans job or anyone else makes demands on him forcing him to have no energy left for his family If he wants to spend the time it as simple as that We all set our own priorities and if wc don we re not truly lives to the extent should be We end up running around willy shooting off energies D like blank cartridges least of all ourselves LETTER TO THE EDITOR Are we
