Balance

This last week or more since D.A.’s emotional eruption, I have attempted to spend more time and attention on things closer to home. I am concerned. There is a delicate balance between the energy I possess and the expectations others have of me. I confess that some of those expectations I sought without fully calculating the consequences.

But I am aware of my desires, and my priorities. And there is now a palpable strain. I must not allow it to affect my judgment, but I fear it already has.
