BALANCE
The beginning of this year, in the middle of the coldest most miserable winter, I slipped and fell…twice…once backward and once forward. I have never really been that steady on my feet. I often watch other people in amazement as they seem to navigate icy paths with no trouble at all and in the most inappropriate shoes. Not me. I really have to be careful or I will wipe out.
Ever since then I have felt less and less in balance. Both mentally and physically. I am not sure if this is just a coincidence. If I was to think back on 2011 I would defintely say that it was my year of being out of balance. Nothing in my life seems to be balanced properly. Food, exercise, the kids, my art … MY HOUSE…eek. I have to be honest writing about this is not making me feel better. That icky feeling has followed me all year and has got progressively worse.
I thought that my children going back to school and having so much more time on my hands would help but I continue to try to find my balance. I think that balance is the truly the key to happiness. I have felt balance but it is fleeting. It seems, as I straighten up and find myself steady something else is dropped on my head or the spot that I have placed my feet becomes uneven and wobbly.
I have bought some snow boots with excellent traction and I hope that this help. Maybe staying steady on on my feet will help me find balance in the rest of my life. It can’t hurt, right?
