Balancing Act

I'm calling my blog "Balancing Act" because of my ordinary life: single, mother of four, full-time employee, struggling to make ends meet, sometimes aspiring writer, champion procrastinator, theater nerd normality.  I live in New England, which until recently has had normal weather, but now is in the midst of its "bleak midwinter." The holidays are over, my street is covered with dirty snow and half frozen ice, the skies are gray, and white shit is still falling from the sky.  The kind of day when one wonders when spring will come again, and when life will start looking up.  But I know eventually it will, so I will trudge on. Pondering the question: If I keep singing, "Everything's Coming Up Roses," how long will it be before I actually start believing it?
