I have been absolutely intent on daily
celebrating my 69th for the entire month
of October. And now, two thirds through
the month, I find myself strangely exhausted,
almost wishing for the arrival of November.
It's been so much fun reconnecting with friends,
planning and executing different events, hoisting
a glass. But, after making merry for three weeks,
I'm actually longing for a hibernation period. I
can't help but wonder if I'll have any energy left
for November, much less finishing out the year.
Somewhere along the route of getting me to my
69th, I've heard a rumor about balance. I even
know that my sign, Libra, is represented with a
balance scale. Alas, I've come to the conclusion
that I must be the most unbalanced Libra I've
ever known. This shows itself in many ways,
but perhaps being high as a kite one day and in
the pit of despair the next, is the toughest. I keep
asking myself, "What's next? What will my 69th
year look like? How should I celebrate it? What
do I need to learn? What's worthy of investigation?"
And, like it or not, I believe these questions have
brought me to a decision . . . I'm going to look
into this balancing act, no matter what! God, I'm
exhausted just thinking about it!
on balancing me
how falling off the tightrope
just wheres the circus
