creating balance

It is good to have balance in your life. Getting enough sleep, socialness/play time, "me" time, the right foods, school, exercize, and work. But balancing these things can be quite difficult and that is how I have found some of these to be. I do get enough sleep only because I've refused to take any class that starts earlier than 10:00 AM, so i can stay up later. I have alot of "me" time. Sometimes too much I think. My "me" time starts as soon as i get out of class, goes for about one to five hours and ends when i get to work, but then often continues after work until I go to sleep. I haven't learned to eat right yet. My favorite food is still ice cream, and I can't seem to find something that is more healthy and on the same level of convenience as a nice bowl of cold cereal! My exercize and school have mingled together nicely. I get plenty of exercize with my four P.E. classes (swimming, karate, rackettball and aerobcs) and 2 Recreational classes (Wilderness Skills and Ropes Course Facilitation). I work up a sweat every day. I work part time. Just enough to keep me financially afloat and pay for school stuff, though i still think I could pick up a few hours here and there. But mostly I find that I am having problems with balancing my socialness, and play time. It's not that I have too much of that going on, it's that I find that when it comes time to venture out and find myself some people to hang with, I convince myself, strangely enough, that staying home and doing nothing would be more satisfying. This concept of mine is all new to me. I have never thought that way before and I'm not quite sure just what to think of myself for that. What's the deal? Everything else seems to be mostly balanced except for food which will be undergoing construction. I see the importance of having good play time, but find myself unmotivated to do so. But things are still good. Evertything seems to be moving along and I'm sure that the world will keep turning.

Its good to find balance. I know that balanced tires are always good. I try to balance my check book, but often fail. There was this one time I balanced a fork, knife, spoon and bottle of sauce on my face. everyone thought I was weird. I think I bring balance into other peoples lives. Do you?

I remember you balancing the untensills and bottle of sauce on your face! That was great! Good times in California. I think you can bring balance to peoples lives. you bring some to mine even though you are along ways away in the fire of hell AKA Arizona.
