Great way to wrap of social work month with NASW-VA: Finding balance is about making time for your career and having regular hours to have fun; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success. #Checkinggoalsoffmylistdaily #Livingmylifelikeitsgolden
