This is what true learning is all about - conversations, even if via social media! Hey we are living and working in the 21st century. It's amazing what we are learning every day -- and I know I'm still light years behind on the tech! But we have to "balance" all that we can. <br /><br />Continue learning. Continue sharing.

So glad to have helped out in the process (without really knowing it!) and only wish we could be learning side-by-side through conversation and lots of laughs, I'm sure!<br /><br />Balance is a GREAT little word! There is so much to learn and so many to learn from that I can easily caught up in it all and then remember that my husband (who has been waiting patiently) is asleep on the couch. Oops. I need to work on that balancing act too!<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing about your journey of balance this year and I'm glad I'm along for the ride, learning right beside you! Happy new year to you!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822472844833732246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485620572840913353.post-9382428290970899392013-01-03T15:30:31.061-05:002013-01-03T15:30:31.061-05:00Amy this is great, really great.

I have way too many interests and passions and I love to pursue them all. I'll certainly need help from my twitter friends like you to help me stay in balance. Wishing you all the best for 2013.

I'm signed up, but I get lost with the posts. Many of them don't make sense to me. I haven't gone to Pinterest much either because of the very reason you wrote, it's a time-sucker. I have started Poetry Friday which I love. You should join us. This teacher writing community has become very special to me. I am learning so much and meet some great people who hold me up and keep me writing. All my best for our continued cooperative learning in 2013.

There is so much out there to do that is fun & learning all rolled into one. I am on twitter occasionally, but just don't have time to do more (so far).
