Balance

I've heard it said that balance is that thing you see while swinging between two extremes.

It's true - balance is hard to come by. I know, for myself, I don't trust what balance even looks like. I think, "You're not doing enough". Then I think, "Give yourself a break. It's thinking like that that got you so sick". Then I think, "Don't use sickness as an excuse". I'm so confused (and worn out from arguing with myself). I find I need to really rely on a few people to help me come to a place of modesty - knowing my limitations. In the end, that's what it comes down to. I constantly quote the scripture that reads, "A live dog is better than a dead lion." Isn't that the truth!!

I find that while trying to bring my eating into balance I've then tried to bring my finances into balance as well as my relationships. Instead of pushing everything to the extreme, it's time to settle down and try to find the illusive Holy Grail - BALANCE!
