Balancing time, part one

Balancing on the tightrope
of time stretching through the day
How to spend it without losing it
Make it count by choosing.

Choosing not to get distracted
by facebook, television, and video games
unless family are still
enjoying through presence
or sharing.

Choosing free time by oneself
to work on hobbies,
with goals to improve
using whatever motivates
to keep one moving forward.

Facebook can be motivating too,
but limiting time spent there
may free time for other goals,
And such distractions
can cause one to fall behind.

A little a day, but not too much
is the trick to keep enjoying life,
making sure life is not ALL virtual
especially for the sake of quality
in the family or with friends.

Let us choose.
