Balance: one of my favorite concepts! So longed for, and so elusive…at least it seems that way. I have periods of balance, and then something shifts and I have to work my way back to that lovely state. I know it when I’m in it, but sometimes falling out of it sneaks up on me!
Love the photo! Thanks! ~ Sheila
There are definitely times I feel out of balance, like I’m on a bicycle with a wobbly tire. Of late, I battled being ill … and now that I’ve recovered, I’m balancing my work load. It’s like you said – something shifts and we have to also 🙂

Wow, what a powerful thought! Great question, also. I’m afraid I don’t know the answer though. I need to think about this. Important question–and one I need to answer!
Hugs,

Sometimes, as much as I might want to stay still, I have to just keep moving forward. 🙂 MJ
Bunko. Today will take me to Bunko tonight. After tonight… who knows, but i look forward to the journey. 🙂
and that sounds like fun, LD! MJ
This is a GREAT quote! I think I worry about finding balance, about being balanced with my ducks in their proverbial row….BEFORE I start moving!! This part of my nature is changing ~ thank goodness! And this quote is just a great one for my journal. Thanks!
I am glad you enjoyed it, Adrienne. I was feeling uninspired and remembered I had this saved away … and the picture sort of made it come together. Cheers! MJ
I have enough trouble finding the trailhead, let alone following the trail. Every time I go down a path, I always seem to go down the wrong fork.
But at least I’m moving…
.. it’s the journey, not the destination, right? 🙂 MJ
Yep, if you stand still you may get run over.
Balancing some heavy issues (terminally ill cousin, son’s financial struggles) with a Little Theatre show tonight with a girlfriend. THAT’S balance!
I’m sorry for things that are weighing heavy on your heart but am glad to hear you are getting out for a night of smiles sure to let you “escape” for a little while. Whee! MJ
Awesome photo and the quote is so very true 🙂 I am headed to go write more this afternoon…possibly will go out for a walk with my camera 🙂
A walk with the camera sounds just about right 🙂 Cheers, MJ

What a beautiful picture — it looks magical. My path is not that magical today, however. It’s heading for Best Buy, which has had my computer for a week and is charging me enough that I should have just bought a new one. 😦 Tomorrow I hope I will be on the writing path, which has been hiding in the brush this week.
Oh no! Well I hope you get your computer and can enjoy the fruits of the expense 🙂 MJ
Earlier today I was on the path to a busy weekend…now I am on the path to healing…threw my back out picking sugar snap peas!
oh no, Jeanne! That’s awful – well you take care, put your feet up and get some heat on it. 😦 Feel better soon .. MJ
I love that – just what I needed to read at this moment.
Yay! Isn’t that photo mystical? We call that “hoar frost” where I come from .. MJ
I think I’m on the same page as you. I’ve been slacking off on my gym visits and feeling the repercussions in mostly emotional ways. As tempting as it was to sleep that extra hour AGAIN this morning, I made myself go to the gym. I’ve been feeling the need to find some balance again.
I hear you Terri. Maybe it’s the mid-winter-blahs .. but I’m there. Feeling the need to just keep on going. The good thing is that I have several juicy projects @ work that are exciting and interesting and challenging … but that’s depleting most of my energy and I’m feeling kinda .. ugh. Good on you for hitting the gym!! Hugs, MJ
I think I’ve got balance this week. Hooray. I found that balance was easier when I slowed down. Next week….who knows. It’s a journey, isn’t it?
Yes, it sure is (a journey) … some weeks are busier/more eventful than others. Sometimes I slow down enough to put my feet on the ground and rest a while .. other times the feet are off the pedals and I’m just a-flyin’! MJ
I think if I move any faster I’ll leave the atmosphere – LOL. It is difficult to find balance, and sometimes it feels more like putting out fires. I love your picture. It looks so peaceful!
Understand – I have had those times, too … Happy Friday to you, Renee!

Very powerful thought. My path is taking me on a new, scary and exciting path. Stay tuned!
I am interested to hear more, Leah!! MJ
