Everything in Life comes down to BALANCE

I lie here early Sunday morning, reaping the benefits of the time change, and was watching a movie contemplating life in general. My random thoughts reviewed where I am today -- this minute -- and then back thru time and how I got here; is this the direction I want to be going. Kind of a philosophical, home-alone moment.

I don't live in the past but rather try to learn from the past. I try to consider how my "TODAY" is formed by decisions I have made in the past ... choices I have made that led to this point rather than another. Almost with-out exception -- and the only reason I hesitate to make this an ALL INCLUSIVE statement is because there may be 1 exception even though I can't think of it -- most of my decisions involved a choice of action on my part that would have implications on many other people directly and indirectly.

Because I believe in Karma -- if you do good things then good things will happen to you, I try very hard to make good choices -- do the the RIGHT thing -- as often as I can. Because I believe good things will come back to me. Truth be told, I'm being very self-centered, looking out for myself! But I think the way to get there is to be good to others and it comes back to you multiplied.

But then there's that 'balance' thing. Because I also believe very much in balance -- ANYTHING to the extreme is most likely gonna be bad. It's kind of like my head and my heart are at odds sometimes. And there too is balance. For you to feel good about yourself, your head and your heart must be happy.

And everyone wants to feel good. I feel pretty good about my life. Certainly not perfect -- NOTHING IS! So it's about maintaining balance. But that doesn't mean 'stuck in the middle' either. Everyone knows the teeter-totter was way more fun when it was bouncing up AND down. You just have to remember, the further you go one way, the harder and faster you will come back thru the middle.

I'm not sure what I'm doing today since the mornings not even half done. I have been working my new trailer. The ramps are now done -- better than before -- thank you Lance Cabinets in Freeburg, IL. They should be stronger than the last set and are lighter. I am loading some 42' lengths of pipe on my 32' trailer tomorrow going to Omaha, NE. Come back for those pictures!

I may go out to Breeze again and visit my oldest son. He knows a place with good food, NFL Ticket and $2 beers -- gimme a recliner and I'll be in heaven.

But for the moment, it's back to movie time. BTW, it's Grown-ups with Adam Sandler -- 2 thumbs up.

Oh, and in case anyone is keeping score, in an ipdate to my "DEADBEAT BROKER" series, United Intercoastal paid their bill. Two week late but paid in full. Still waiting for Bowers Trucking. And I have three more coming due this next week, so stay tuned!
