What a great post Andy. First of all, on your question about the search for balance ... I think that's what life is all about. It's a constant search for balance. I was thinking about this as I was running yesterday. I think life is meant to be a swinging pendulum, at least a little. Some of us swing wildly from one side of imbalance to another and some of us manage to hover about the center. And to me at least, it seems as if this follows with the laws of nature. Everything goes in cycles. Life and death, the ebb and flow of the tides, the changing of seasons, the orbit of the earth and other planets around the sun ... Life is a wild ride and you can either jump right in and tame it or you can hold on for dear life swinging wherever it takes you. How fast and how high your pendulum swings depends on so many things. What do you think it depends on? Do you think we have any control in this matter? I think one main contributing factor is your parents and your childhood with those parents. That's why I want so badly to give my kids a stable and love-filled childhood. What tools/skills were you raised with that you feel prepared you for your adult life? While it's true that we all become adults and make our own decisions, our childhood is what brings us to adulthood and therefore plays a major role in our adult decisions. And I think there are a lot of parents out there who don't fully realize the profound effect their actions and way of living have on their kids.
I could continue to veer way off topic here into a discussion on parenting styles but i'm too tired. This post isn't nearly as profound as what I had worked up in my head yesterday but it's late and i'm starting to doze off. I'll leave you with a quote I borrowed from an email I received today.
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body. But rather, to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming .."WOW, WHAT A RIDE!'"'
