Balance

I lead a relatively active life and am involved in many activities, including leisure, voluntary service, recovery activities and paid work.  I am extremely grateful to be able to participate in all of that, in spite of the very real limitations placed on me by my disability.  I also need to recognize and live within those limitations, a constant balancing act.  There are things that I do daily to minimize those limitations, like watching my diet, keeping my weight low and regular exercise.  Balancing all of that leads to a very fulfilling life.
