Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. - Robert Fulghum
Be aware of wonder.
Is that how we maintain balance? I sometimes think that one of my big lessons is how to stayed balanced...not this whole all or nothing thing that I've got going on a lot of the time.
But then again, I was the stable friend in college...and I was way less balanced then for god's sake. So maybe I've got this balanced thing down more than I think I do.
Maybe it's just being aware. Aware of what you need, aware of what you are feeling, aware of what's around you.
Maybe that awareness is what creates the wonder in that moment. And I guess it's hard be off balance if you focusing on the moment.
I am grateful that I feel those moments. Like when we went kayaking last weekend and there were a few moments when I wasn't fighting the water and my paddle and the wind and everything just flowed.
So...how to do that more and more. Is it possible to be totally aware of the moment and watch 'america's got talent' at the same time?
When do you feel most in the moment?

I'm a Libra, feeling balanced should come easy to me haha. But, most in the moment? With camera in hand ... or taking a walk and listening to the world go by ... the only time i could say that i would be in the moment and watching america's got talent, is if i had in hand something that centres me ... knitting, cross stitch ... interesting topic ... youve got me thinking now!

When with my camera. The lens anchors me to the here and now.
kylie...YES! camera is definitely great for balance.
jodie...looking forward to it!
Brandi,
Balance is an idea I bounce back and forth on - and lately that's felt a bit more like "harmony". As in - finding some harmony in life...
And through it all - just being aware is such a good thing. (and maybe that's enough). Aware of who we are (really are), what matters, and of the moments of our life.
Sometimes I'm there...in deep awareness...and others....it's a challenge...
When I am, though - I feel an extra sense of connection (and that's such a good place to "be"...)
