How do you balance work and home life?
I am retired , children left the house, and work half time as a university Professor, therefore my time is easily scheduled between work and leisure. When I was a University administrator and had children, my priority was time with my family and I worked a minimum of 50 hours per week. I made sure we had three meals together as a family , taking two hours for lunch and dinner and I work late when the children were doing homework or Sleeping
Setting priorities

As one also retired it’s a case of finding different things to pass the time. So I can’t say that the situation present tense is ideal it’s the best I can do. Lately I have gotten into some gardening as a hobby. I can’t play musical instruments or paint artistically while of course I’m now a widower. In lots of ways I really miss working but I must accept my age.
To find a balance one has to not make writing one’s sole focus. What I write on here hopefully is someway humorous while the photos are of people I know. One objective is to pay homage to them for their time. And indeed their energy which I cannot match. So to sum up I feel one must stay in the present and make the best of it. Life is not easy for anyone rich or poor or in between.
Your work puts food on the table plus a roof over your head. I certainly didn’t achieve to my potential at work. I simply got caught up in the hippy era where the icons were often dishonest.
They basically played the system and I didn’t see through them.
The solitary life is my fate unless I meet a lady interested in me. On families generally I see people staying way too much within them. And like myself often disappointed with their attitudes and disinterest in everyone but themselves.
But every generation feels those younger than them are not up to standard. Nothing ever changes.
