Dear Avid reader (aka the only person that reads my posts),
I am sorry that my most recent post appeared so long ago. It seems as though you can't even depend on a fellow blogger for consistency. Thats an interesting subject, consistency. Is it the key to life or completely unnecessary? Like most things, the answer probably lies in the balance. Our whole life consists of balance, or the quest for balance, or the lack of balance. Nowadays we often refer to it as juggling. Juggling school, kids, work, and our health (which often falls to the bottom of the list). So what is the perfect balance? Is there even such a thing as perfect? The logic inside me says no; you can't be perfect because you can't be simultaneously perfect at being unperfect. At least that's what I would have told you when I believed I was an enlightened 13 year old. Now I believe in perfection, yet my perfection comes with flaws. I believe that things can be perfect for you, beautiful in your eyes, even if they fall short by the standards of another. But that's the beautiful thing about life: there will always be someone out there who can truely appreciate you for who you are. However, if it seems almost impossible to find them, you might consider slightly altering a few things (not physically- I don't want someone to come up to me quoting me as an inspiration for a nose job.) Anyways, I think that we can find beauty, if not perfection, in so many more things in life if we would just look around. Take a breath, and when you feel stressed or sad or like giving up, look up. You are still here. As daunting as life may seem, it's worth it. The bad allows us to appreciate the good, and good gives us reason to push through the bad. (Nice quote huh? someone make a magnet). So maybe we could all benefit from looking up more, appreciating more, and finding beauty in the little things that make life so interesting.
