Balance.
Something I think about a lot.
I've seen a marked improvement with my balance in Yoga. When I first started a couple of years ago, I couldn't even lift my foot off the floor and balance in any way. Now, on a good day, I can strike the tree pose (shown here -- not me, the tree pose) and hold it for a while. I definitely don't do it as well as the picture shows, but I really have improved a lot.
What I haven't seen a lot of improvement in is
balance in other areas of my life.
By that I mean, overcoming my
"all or nothing" tendencies.
If I would learn to do a little bit at a time,
in moderation,
then I wouldn't have those "all" days
and those "nothing" days.
There would be balance.
But, until I achieve that,
I'm giving myself permission to have a nothing day
and to enjoy doing nothing,
since that's what I'm doing anyway.
By the time you're 55, aren't you supposed to have it all together?

My dear, you have it together more than any woman I know. You have "all" days that match other people's months. So twelve of your all days match another person's year. By the time you are finished with a year you have done enough for a whole lifetime. Standing on one leg, yet.
I really think balance is sooo important. Last night I was bringing some chairs to my car from the church for our party and lost my balance and fell and sprained my ankle. It hurts. I am soooo deep.
oh annette......oh boy could I say some things on this blog? But because I love you so much I will hold my tounge for another day. You and Gary are the best.
