Day 346

I think that my life is pretty good. We talk a lot about making trade offs and balance in our life. There are whole books, magazines and talk shows on television and radio that discuss balance. I think this is just another illusion. Balance? What's that? Can you balance your life on a daily basis, weekly? monthly? or do you just balance the whole thing out over the years? I work when I need to work and most of the time I need to work. I'm a little awkward with my spare time. I try to garden but I don't really know what I'm doing. The beautiful thing about growing food is that you don't need to know much to make something happen. Better yet, we don't really HAVE to garden because someone will sell us food at the grocery store. I must admit I have turned into a food snob. Most of what is at the grocery store is mushy and bland. One of the things I want to do this year is to grow really good vegetables. One's that taste good and can liberate me from what's at the grocery store.
