Point well taken Steve. But it seems to me balance is about learning to accept the good with the bad. When I lower my expectations and try my best to have a grateful heart. Grateful even for my misfortunes because they can be life lessons. Then balance will finds its own level. So much of life is an inside job for me.

Happiness is a feeling. One of many!

I definitely have been thinking along those lines. Last fall I found a fellow on Craigslist to do chores like that. The search will start soon…

Moving generates a mind boggling number of plans. I don’t envy you that adventure. Hopefully you’ll find yourself quickly astride your scooter or motorcycle and tearing up Toronto!

Always excited to see what the day will bring!

I used to spend more energy seeking balance but I ended up in situations where there was none — how do you balance two unequal things? Instead I just try to take things as they come and experience them as best I can. That way I don’t feel angry and deprived when I don’t have enough “good” stuff on one side or the other of a balance. Maybe pleasure and responsibility can be the same thing…

Thanks for the comments and kind words Len. I appreciate them.

Sounds as if you have a huge number of spring projects underway — ones that move you around! Home construction projects are unsettling — especially for cats!

Good luck on road test #2. Relax and just do what you know to do…
