My Middle

Middle. Middle of the road, right down the middle, midway, middle class, middle of nowhere, middle aged, middle school, mid-life crisis, Midwest, middle of the way. Middle: (adj.) Equally distant from the extremes; central. Balanced. Is that too much to ask?! :) I want to find the happy middle. The happy middle between fitness and fatness. The happy middle between having a super clean house and giving my children the time they need. The happy middle between extreme nutrition and gluttony. The happy middle in being a wife, mother, sister, friend, daughter, granddaughter, aunt, daughter-in-law, and neighbor. The happy middle in being an athlete, but girly; funny, but tactful; smart, but silly; clean, but not obsessive; charitable, but not willing to be taken advantage of; fun, but classy; humble, but not weak; attractive, but not fake; outspoken, but kind; strict, yet flexible; frugal, but not tight; religious, but not nutty. Balanced. Life is a tightrope. But the circus is fun! This is my search.
