You are so completely ...Thank you for your comment! You are so completely right: "it wouldn't be better, just different." Your life, however, to me, sounds a lot more balanced than a lot of other lives I know of. In fact, it sounds very very similar to my "ideal" balance and probably how I will be next year: 10-12 hours at a University setting, with a few private lessons sprinkled around for extra money. <br />I know the grass is always greener (though not always aware of it in my own life - the irony!) but I also know that I cannot keep up 60 hour weeks any more!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929284460741033391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232441795111696541.post-42844324779520461382014-05-30T06:41:08.258-07:002014-05-30T06:41:08.258-07:00This is a fascinating topic that I think about all...This is a fascinating topic that I think about all the time. I have made choices to work from home for the most part (as a translator and copy editor). I teach French as a second language in a private school 10 hours a week, just enough to get out of the house, but I still am there for my kids after school. It works well but I do wonder sometimes, if another life wouldn't be better. The usual answer is that it wouldn't be better, just different.HappinessSavouredHot (Julie Saint-Mleux)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10440062323314751611noreply@blogger.com
