Still checking in on you from time to time! :) Balance is a never-ending quest for those of us who think about it. School just started up for me and already I'm way out of whack. My favorites: Vipassana and yoga. I took a Vipassana retreat last June (www.dhamma.org). There's a center in MA if you can get away for 10 days. And it's pay-what-you-can. Don't expect to be entertained or for it to be easy, though. It's one of the toughest things I've done. I felt amazing afterward. Also, I gave up my spinning classes for yoga, which I'm getting free through a work-study arrangement. My body asked me to slow down, and I obliged. We'll see how it works out. I still love to ride, though I've never been hardcore like you! 33 has been interesting so far. I feel like my mind and body both want a bit of a rest. Or at least a different kind of stimulation. It's strange, growing up. Best of luck with it! The glow will wear off eventually. But till then, don't burn yourself out. Self-care is more important than concerts and boats. We wear down the core of our being with stress- even the good kind! Hey Jill! Still checking in on you from time to time! :)

Lack of sleep is a common frustration, you are NOT alone! After the newness of it all wears off, you will find balance. Enjoy it all! http://watchfuliving.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/sleep-story/
