Love the connections you make in your poem - <br />" courage to walk <br />the tightrope of life<br />with faith."<br />Here's to an easier day to fit in writing with your myriad commitments, Carol.

This is a fascinating perspective on balance, Carol! A worthy OLW, indeed. And how often we lose our symmetry ... Wishing you a lovely time with your sister and I admire how you are getting the writing done - here's to hitting that stride!Fran Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295033583781089018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587706174618725555.post-48881102811381410312020-03-06T00:49:55.676-05:002020-03-06T00:49:55.676-05:00Karen, I would say I am definitely off balance ton...Karen, I would say I am definitely off balance tonight what with two presentations with my team at a statewide conference, out to dinner with my sister (she lives in Central NYS where the conference is and trying to get my writing in). This all made me not able to so. Got to get into a rhythm to make it through another long day tomorrow. Will try to keep my steps in balance.<br />Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587706174618725555.post-88764401455432915612020-03-05T23:49:06.447-05:002020-03-05T23:49:06.447-05:00It comes down to us paying attention to ourselves,...It comes down to us paying attention to ourselves, our own steps, and trying out best to keep them in balance. Thanks for this, Carol. A good thought to contemplate.Karen Eastlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08778112838401454642noreply@blogger.com
