Eva’s Byte #358 – Finding Balance

“…remember that life's a Great Balancing Act.” Dr. Seuss

Sure is! More so than ever, lately. Am I right?

I find it challenging to achieve mental balance while the heartbreak playing out on the world stage sabotages one’s inner peace and threatens one’s stability.

On the home front, I’ve resorted to distracting myself through spring cleaning. My recent foray inside a 5’x5’ storage closet off of my office demanded my attention to find balance. For years, I’d been storing several bins containing seasonal decorations on two top shelves which run the length of each wall. For someone with an intense fear of heights, climbing a step ladder to retrieve or return a weighty bin entails an awkward balancing act.

Duh!

Rearranging the entire closet, I double-stacked the storage bins on the carpet, and have plenty of clearance. It took me thirteen years to devise a better plan with my safety in mind.

In my capacity of a writer, I finished drafting Chapter 8 (1386 words) of my Contemporary work in progress, having balanced four scenes to mesh seamlessly. I’ve begun writing Chapter 9, wending my way past 120 words.

Finding balance is what writers are tasked with as each character vies for his/her due in their unfolding story.

*May each of us find balance for grounding ourselves as we weather life’s storms.

My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
