I chose the title “Balanced” for this painting because keeping everything in balance is something I have to work hard on every day, and I rarely, if ever, think I succeed. I’m beginning to think there’s no such thing as living a balanced life.
There’s at least 15 things on my to-do list that I don’t get done each day. It seems I’m always adding to the list rather than subtracting. I often wonder when/if there will ever be any time left over at the end of the day for something fun..besides collapsing into bed, and watching Netflix for 10 minutes before I pass out, I mean.

It seems like a constant battle I’m never able to win. If I do this, then I’m not getting that done. If I do that, when will I find time to do this? I’m always weighing out in my mind two things: what’s most important and what can I slide back for another day? It’s a slippery slope, tho, and some tasks never get checked off my list.
Look at how easy peasy these birds make balancing seem, tho. Not a worry in the world. Plus, they’re able to look cute while keeping their balance. Some things in life aren’t fair, and this is one of them. 😉
Our real problem, then, is not our strength today;
it is rather the vital necessity of action today
to ensure our strength tomorrow.
