Balance has been on my mind lately, primarily because my lack of it keeps launching me down stairs. After 6 weeks laid up with a broken foot, I'm determined to regain my balance.

Blog to Come…..
Every once in a while I write the 1st draft of a blog, and it goes missing. Such is the case with today's blog.
