Life is not just about Maintenance

We get too caught up in our lives daily routines, and especially here in the US, we do everything ourselves. From cooking, cleaning, driving ourselves to work, bills, etc...only the ones that have extra on their budget hire people to do those work, and they're not cheap...labor here is pricey. But in doing all these, we have little time left for what we really want to do. So I swear to be a balanced person. For me, my priority is people, especially family. I make it a point to spend as much time with my family, be it with simple eating meals together, watching tv or just hanging out with them. We talk and see extended family and friends as well as much as we can and let them know we're still thinking of them. Next is getting out, anywhere, whether it be to a restaurant, new city, state and country. We try to visit some places to relax, learn their culture, history and appreciate their uniqueness. Then of course help out, volunteer, do something good. We know that giving and helping others gives us a sense of accomplishment.
