Balancing Act

   Tue, March 20, 2007 - 4:45 AM
Happy Spring Equinox everyone! I hope you find the day a good one in your neck of the woods.
For me, today is one of seeking a balance, and meditating on what balance really means...
We know that one way of thinking of balance is 50/50-but what of the relationship that is 70/30, or even 90/10? Is that not a balace as well?
Isn't it unrealistic to expect equality at all times? We are but human after all, and each of us has experienced "falling short" of another's expectation of us, of not "pulling our weight"...
And what of balancing our lives - that is always such a great concern, it seems. Can we really achieve an equal balance between work and home? And should we even try, knowing that some areas need more attention at times?
Some things to think about on this day of equality, day of balance...
Blessings to you, Star

very good point
balance has almost become a catchword ...
you're right: 70%-30% IS a balance as well, and if it works, it works...

I don't think I want my milkshake to be 50/50 milk and ice cream ...

thanks for pulling me out of my reverie this morning ...

Blessings and Balance back to you Star. I think meditating on balance in our lives, mine for sure, needs more attention.
Sometimes I just feel pulled from pillar-to-post in this area, and I appreciate the reminder.
