Searching for Balance by Angie Ledbetter

This is what I feel like right now. I'm managing to keep all the things in my life balanced somehow, but one move too quickly in any direction, and they might come crashing down on my head. Or worse, I might fall off the teetering ball that supports me, then the balls I'm juggling will splatter. For the moment, I'm full of gratitude that I'm not swaying too much or vibrating, but maintaining.


To remind myself of the importance of staying steady in all things, I've made up an acronym:

• Just do what you can and let the rest fall away without worrying over it.
• Understand I am not in control of certain things and let them go. They'll will work themselves out one way or the other.
• Get rest whenever possible, including getting off the hamster wheel for some R&R.
• Give time to the important things/people. It's never wasted.
• List your blessings daily.
• Even if you drop a few balls or get off balance, it's okay. Tomorrow is a new day.
