Welcome To The Circus!

As they say, life can throw curve balls. Well, I am in an entirely new ball park...it's not even a park at all! I like to think of it as a circus. You have the trapeze artists who think that they can balance the weight of the world on their shoulders and walk a thin, straight line and then there are the clowns that jump around trying to make you laugh when really, behind all the white and red face paint, they are just as confused and dissatisfied as the guy sitting next to you in the stands.

As of late, I have been apart of Act 2 after the intermission. I am the one in the blue and white striped dress trying to ride the unicycle while juggling 3-5 (depending on how I feel that day) enflamed sticks that are painted to look like candy canes. The hardest part isn't the juggling, but rather the challenge of balancing the bike and the drive to keep pedaling forward.

Leaving the analogy aside for a second, it can be very difficult at times when you are overwhelmed with more than you can handle with the expectation that you will keep going hanging over your head like a trapeze artist. Once you get the basic time management skills mastered it can seem like you have everything under control until the infamous "they" throws you another wanna-be candycane into the mix and your balance is altered.

But I have found over the past week or so that even if you wipe-out and loose control of all you are juggling, there will always be someone there to help you back up. It may be an unknown clown that you've never seen or it may be another unicycler that fully understands the difficulties of it all, but either way, the hand up is there and all you have to do is grab it. These type of people, I believe, were sent down here to this lost and misguided earth to help us, those lost and confused wearing our own shades of face paint, and lead us towards an easier path full of support and common understandings.

This is something that I have learned lately when I myself was rescued by a fellow unicycler after I had wiped-out with the firey candy canes threatening to land on me. When you think you are all alone on a path of confusion, there will always be someone there to help you up, just have a little faith.

Now off you go to the outdoors as usual! Have an AMAZING day!! PeAcE.
