#GBE2: Balance

I don't have great balance. In fact, if a cop pulled me over, I might get arrested if they asked me to walk a straight line, even if sober. It's just that balance has never been one of those natural tasks for me.

When I was a Girl Scout, our troop performed a dance in which we jumped through sticks. Being uncoordinated, the leader stuck a grass skirt around my waist and had me wave my arms like a hoola girl. Everyone was jealous that I got that job. Let's hear it for clumsiness!

Way back when, I took taek won do and actually developed some balance. Then I got pregnant, and it was gone. I've never found it again.

Oh. You mean we're supposed to write about having a balanced life? Balancing everything we have to do? Heck! I can't even balance my check book. And as for the serious side of balance, my life is so out of balance, it would make my dancing look good!

    You are too funny and I doubt if you are any where near as unbalanced as you say! I would be willing to be you have all your ducks in a row. The row may well be windy and curvy, but a row nonetheless!
    Love it. :)

    As long as I go through life doing things ass backwards, I am fine. If I try to balance things I discover things are worse, so sideways...upside down...whatever works. Love your blog.
