Just a piece of pie

I've been reading some books lately (thank you Heather) and they've really got the ol' cogs in my brain a spinning.

While so much of what I'm reading feels like common sense, at the same time they are things I've neglected to incorporate in my life. Or rather, had forgotten about.

I sit there reading, and thinking, "dadgum, that completely makes sense, what was I thinking/doing?!"

So I'm on a mission, to not forget.

In one of the books, it talks about balance. I generally like to think I'm a fairly balanced person, but as I read, I realized I need to tweak a few things, which is fine, as this is a learning process.

When it comes to balance, there are often so many things on our plate. (let's say a whole pie) And you can't make any one thing in your life the whole pie. Each thing can only be a slice. Some slices are bigger than others, sure, but the bottom line...everything is just a piece of the whole.

This was a good reminder for me.

A pie is much more enjoyable one slice at a time, rather than having the whole thing shoved down your throat at once.

Also, when you make one thing your whole pie, it (or they) become overwhelming, which will also take all the fun out of piece.

So relax, and eat your pie and don't ever think that one piece is as big as the whole thing.

And heck, you can even throw some whip cream on top, of each little piece.
