Bravery, daring, success, balance... seems like there are days when I am teetering.
And yet, then there are days when I am tottering.
Perhaps there is a third, preferable, and yet elusive, state of being?
Ah, but how easy to overlook that while you strive and struggle for balance, you create a home that's filled with happy, loving, active, curious children who love being exactly where they are; that friends flock to you; that neighbors don't want to let too much time pass without stopping by to see what's happening; that you've created the very place where fun breaks out. So maybe that tension that you sometimes feel has something to do with the magic that's all around you....
Perhaps there is. I would like to find it, too.

DeleteI think you just described my life these days too Natalie.
ReplyDeleteThis image is just toooo cool!
Sir Robin lives a full, if fretful, existence.
DeleteI like to think I can just let him do all my fretting, for me.
this photo is genius. it's called balance, right? between teetering and tottering?
ReplyDeletemay your week be balanced, my dear.
Ah, thank you. I have noticed how much a teeter totter is like life... always adjusting and shifting to stay on course.
DeleteYup, that is me toooooo, thanks for finding words for it.

ReplyDeleteYou.
DeleteThank you.
