How Do You Balance Work and Life?

Teaching is the best job...and the hardest job, but how do you relax and balance your life? 


My family enjoys hiking. Hiking is one way we balance life and work.  It gets us outside, we get to explore new places and get a little exercise in as well. 


Earlier in October, we hit the road to Arkansas, where we hiked at Devil's Den State Park. We only had time for one trail and chose Yellow Rock Trail. This is an easy 3-mile loop with great views. The trees were starting to change colors and it was absolutely beautiful. 




Yellow Rock Trail is an easy 3 mile loop. You climb up to a bluff by hiking around and between the rock. You pass a rock, which looks like peanut butter, but is actually called Yellow Rock. Then you proceed to the top where you have a great view of the vista.
