The Balancing Act
“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and
rhythm and harmony ~ Thomas Merton.
Summer seems to have flown by and now Labor Day has come and gone. Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer and the beginning of the majestic season called “Autumn.” I’m originally a Jersey girl and Autumn was surely one of my favorite seasons. In the Northeast, the exquisite colors of fall are simply breathtaking!

Mother Earth fully appreciates this word and she will (quite often these days) make adjustments to achieve that equilibrium.
