1. Balance

   Life is never an all or nothing proposition, yet, often I find myself at one extreme or the other.  The idea of middle ground for anything is foreign and at the same time when I am not at one extreme end of the spectrum or the other life has a peaceful sense of ease and flow.  This peace and ease has yet to be long lasting and typically gets over shadowed by some person, place, thing, or situation and my ineptitude at setting or maintaining boundaries.  I think that in order to distract myself from myself I just add more.   Intellectually I know that more is not the solution and if it provides any solace it is usually short lived and followed by a greater sense of discomfort.  So the dance continues and I have the opportunity to re commit myself to each moment.  Lately I have found that just staying over my feet has allowed me to trudge through.  When I pause and reflect upon the what it was like part of my story I realize that just a few short years ago I was stuck in misery, self pity, and hopelessness.  

   Today I realize that sometimes things can feel overwhelming and out of balance.  This is ok and it is in these moments of discomfort where I am challenged to reach out to the solution that has carried me thus far.  It is in the moments of discomfort where I can grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.  When life feels jammed packed it is important for me to pause, relax, and remember where I came from.  This allows me to truly realize that I am Trudging the Road of Happy Destiny and in the immortal words of Bob Marley……”Every little thing is gonna be alright.”…………..Peace
