Post Script to "Leaving the Farm"

I have rethought the farm exodus proposed in my March 27th post. In light of my deep conviction that it isn't always what we are doing but how or how much we are doing it that is the problem.
A recurring theme for me is balAnce. It isn't difficult to accept that we can have too much of a bad thing; as a matter of fact I prefer to have none at all. But you can have too much of good thing too. For example,too much chocolate and not enough exercise and you will gain weight (as unfair as it sounds you must believe me - I have empirical evidence threatening to spill over my waistband.)

I find the little Farmville game relaxing and a little relaxation is a good thing (key word - little). The better opportunity for personal growth is to learn to balAnce work and relaxation in effective quantities. Finish a post, write a speech and reward myself with a few minutes of "farming". I have decided to reactivate the farm (however the island, the yovillage and the mytownship shall remain history). Will I really manage my time and not ride that virtual tractor into oblivion? The answer will be obvious in the future activity or lack there of on this blog. Is there anything you might address with the greater challenge of balancing rather than just eliminating it from your routine? ....uh you can leave a post....my crops are almost ready.............
