Ohmm Balance

I got an early birthday present in the mail yesterday and just had to open it.  It was a yoga kit from my daughter who is always looking out for my best interest, as I am hers.  So I started practicing, with the aid of the DVD.  First off he talks about balance; going from imbalance to balance in your life.  Sure makes sense.  So when you look at imbalance, I know it isn't just balancing on one leg kinda balance.  It applies to all aspects of our life.  Play, work, meditation, inspiration.  When there is too little of one, it affects your whole being.  Take your home.  If it is in disarray there is chaos in your mind which extends into your daily life, affecting your well being.  Yet if ordering your home is your full focus, then other things suffer and go out of balance.  So we need to do a self analysis once in a while to check the balance in our life.  Do we take a balanced regard to our physical body so that that it has the strength to balance our mental being?  When our mental being is in balance then we are aware of the need to balance other aspects of our life such as our spiritual nature.  Oh how wise we become when we turn 70 years of age!  And it is a great time to do a self check.

Michael's eye is much improved, but he is still on restriction from any physical activity except an exercise bike, which we don't have.  He said that when he went for a walk yesterday he could see the gas bubble bouncing up and down as he walked.  Not a good thing.  The doctor is concerned that the gas bubble could hit the newly reattached eye wall and cause the retina to unattach again.  Not what we want to happen.  So he is patiently biding his time until he is given the go ahead from the doctor.  That means no biking in Key West this weekend either, but we'll do some beach walking.  This is a great opportunity for him to reexamine the balance in his life, too.
