Ever since Sheila, at Book Journey, along with a few other bloggers, started pondering their One Word for the year, I’ve been doing a little thinking, too.
What word means something to me and can serve as my own personal incentive to make changes in this New Year?
Well, let’s consider how I am a bit compulsive…and how I tend to obsess about my blogs, my reading, my anything at all. Can we say a little OCD? LOL
What would be the perfect antidote for my tendencies to hole up on my couch and read, watch movies, and do little else? Could that solution for me be to strike some kind of BALANCE?
Yes! That’s just what I need this year….
Even when I was doing something positive, like purging and taking excess books to the library, I didn’t seem to know when to stop. Until my shelves were down several hundred books. A good thing, right? But maybe a bit much, too.
Here is where balance would come in handy. So I have found my One Word! And now I will strive to achieve it.

Yeah balance nice word and something to incorporate. Just come from Kristin and Always with a Book, she is into balance too for 2016. I wonder are we book bloggers all a little alike! We are somewhat obsessed with reading, blogging etc. I know hours can go by and suddenly I look at the clock and think -What! Love the balance pic. Here is Kristin’s post Goals for 2016

I would have to say that if i were to focus on one word, balance would be a good one for me. I have been tidying and purging all manner of material things and looking for a balance — a balance between being overwhelmed or being too frugal — a balance between being hungry or too full — I am looking for middle of the road and that, to me, is balance. Great post!
