We are living in different times, that's for sure. It seems that most of us are living under a veil of significant stress on a ongoing basis; staying in a flat or bad marriage for the kids, caring for aging parents who are too healthy to go into a home, but not healthy enough to be independent and leave our freedom and quality of life intact, extreme work demands and/or financial woes (which pretty much goes without saying, if you live in Vancouver like I do, where real estate and living expenses continue to fire off into the stratosphere)... and then there's the day-to-day crap. So, shit! We're dealing with very big issues and daily mishaps - it's no wonder we drink, eat, party and escape into shows and whatever else we can find to numb the pain!!
A good friend of mine always talks about balance. Gotta find the balance in life to make up for the challenges we face he says. I guess what constitutes balance is up to the individual. Where is the reprieve from the weight of our world? Personally, I turn to passionate pursuits and exercise (and just a wee bit of drinking, Lol;)). The people I care about will always be my saving grace. Hugs.
Blessings,
