Intro:  Thursdays I will try to write something brief – I call it Blurbsday (that’s all I’ll say about that).

Life is about balance.  Imagine life as a see-saw:  one end is the past, one end is the future, the middle is the present.  If you sit at either end, you won’t get anywhere without the help of outside forces.  If you sit in the middle, you can find balance – but only if you remain mindful of the ends of the board.  One end or the other is bound to sway you.  You need to learn to sway with it to keep things in balance.  And no matter how hard you try, we all run out of board – make the most of your time on it.
