I've been working on balance in my life by spending more time in the garden, watching hummingbirds and big huge fat bees and listening to this new group of robin babies that are endlessly crying for food that are nesting on my front porch in a gorgeous thick climbing Hydrangea, that is full of big huge white flowers.
The baby robins, started (LOL) getting on my nerves, (they never shut up) and I felt like Chevy Chase in the movie Funny Farm the other day when I was working on a script whereby in that movie Chevy (who is also trying to write) gets sick of the singing birds and he decides to go out his window and poor hot coffee on them. I laughed at myself for my own impatience and realized what was really bothering me.
My frustration level on life has become somewhat out of whack, and when that happens I need a time out, and more balance, no matter what. But as John Lennon sings in 'Imagine,' the great great lyrics: 'But I'm not the only one.' And I know that.
