Thanks for the feedback, ladies. I too find myself “seeking balance” on a regular basis but am beginning to prefer other themes.
Janice, I do love “harmony”–along with your eloquent description, I like the idea of intermingling the best of our connections with one another to create something more. . . harmonious.
Thanks for putting it all into words.
You all inspire me!

I don't think balance is really an option. Just the concept itself implies a constant state of teetering and trying to stay in balance. An effort, stressful too. For most of my adult life, I struggled to maintain balance and failed miserably. I shifted my thinking a few years back and now prefer to use the word "harmony." Harmony implies congruence of body, mind and spirit. Also an inner sense of well-being and connection to our spirit (and the greater Spirit). And that is what is really important to me. Plus it feels really good to be in harmony with something, someone, or ourselves. What do you think? Is harmony a better fit for you? Blessings!

I’m always seeking that elusive balance. Your post makes me feel better for never quite achieving that! Life is all about ebb and flow.

Well Pam…my life has been out of balance for over a year now and I’m missing it! But I love reading your thoughts, always provoking.

Thanks again! This is a really good reminder because I do feel like I spend my time looking for balance, when I should be enjoying the ups and the downs. I do believe there is fun to be found in the downs–especially when my down moods cause me to crave and eat good chocolate

I am enjoying talking to you via your blog!
