All in moderation

My dessert plate has been tasted, and savored. The past eight weeks starting something fun and new has brought me to wonder about who I am becoming, and just enough space to allow me to continue focus on my children, my deck project, and my marriage. I would love for the fun to continue, or to even grow...but I'm looking for some balance in my life. Ancient philosopher, Plato, said, "Moderation, which consists in an indifference about little things, and in a prudent and well-proportioned zeal about things of importance, can proceed from nothing but true knowledge, which has its foundation in self-acquaintance.” Boy, I'm looking for that - self-acquaintance. I'd love to get to know who I really am.

So, this blog post by Renee Miller is helping me to wonder if a complete diet of just sweet desserts is indeed what I'm looking for, or if I still need the variety in life to keep me able to fully experience and enjoy life. What things might be sprinkled into my life that are really desserts, and which are healthy options that I'm totally enjoying fully?
