I often wonder why we need to juggle so many balls, why are we not content with the simpler expectations of previous generations. But I guess I always come to the same conclusion: that those of us who want to experience life to the max are also those of us who probably do take on more than we can manage, because we actually like it that way. Why else do we not put some of the balls down? Fabulous discussion - best held over dinner with good red wine!! <br /><br />As for blogging, for me it is all about the extraordinary friendships that I have made with people from all over the world, with similar views but different life experiences, and the richness of sharing thoughts which can inspire, can be food for thought, or which can simply be supportive. So I hope you continue to blog too.

And whenever I feel a stab of envy at someone else's apparently perfect existence as seen on their blog, I remind myself that it is a highly edited version of their life. Most of us don't display the mess, the clutter, the accidents, the crap! Either physical or figurative, we tend to keep that stuff to ourselves to deal with in private. <br />We're all just muddling through, doing our best or thereabouts. I hope you continue to blog, I agree with all the comments about the value of the connections and friendships which can be built through blogging. xxxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-43739113360057610022013-03-26T06:08:03.658-07:002013-03-26T06:08:03.658-07:00Your post resonates with me in so many ways.

Like you, at times I question why I continue, but there is always an answer to that question the next morning in the form of a comment or a blob post by someone like you who inspires and captures beauty to express in some way that touches me.
