This group seems to be a potential balance to the isolation that you experience a lot of the time. I know that for me, I need a lot of isolation to get my work done, but I am always filled with gratitude when my husband comes home from work and we can talk.<br /><br />Its ironic, I'm having a bit of trouble with my brother who has been giving me email advice about how to be a "balanced" person. He throws around the term balanced with no grounding in any type of spiritual study, and its worrisome. I think that over fascination with living a balanced life is a red flag that one is unhappy. At least in my brother's situation. He tells me only to think happy, optimistic thoughts (as well at to jog half an hour a day and eat no sugar) and is coming off as bossy and about as fanatical about living a "balanced" life as a religious fanatic. He told my mom that he wants to make the world a better place, and apparently has decided to start with family. But he is like the therapist from hell, dispensing advice but not listening to what you have to say in defense of a life you are living the best way you seem possible.<br /><br />it would sooth me a great deal if there were any reference to spiritual health in his dictates to what makes mental health, but alas, none.<br /><br />I do think that light and darkness do a dance together, that both are present and need to be present in a balanced psyche.<br /><br /><br />All my love,<br />KarenKaren May Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436905322393073250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239140084937897595.post-37488436665157238252012-09-07T21:54:24.551-04:002012-09-07T21:54:24.551-04:00Good luck!
