Somedays I feel like the physical rings of the circus floor and everyone else is gliding, soaring, dancing, or thrilling to some excitement above me while I become one with the elephant poo.<br /><br />The only circus performer I ever wanted to be was the girl in the flashy costume that did the trick riding on the stunt pony. Yee-ha!<br /><br />MaggieMaggie Toussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011893139722870283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-37043701782191275682010-08-23T09:40:48.422-05:002010-08-23T09:40:48.422-05:00Oh yeah, life's a circus.

I've heard young mothers say they never remember eating an entire meal off her plate--she's finish up whatever the children left on theirs. That's really putting yourself last. I've often heard that "your family comes first." And everyone agress. Right? But is that always true? I say no--there are times when we should say--you all take care of yourselves--I have something I want to do.

I think I'm more like riding in a convertible, cruising at a leisurely pace down a one lane highway to my destination that lies at the end. I gaze and smile, or frown, at the sights on either side of the road. My foot stays steady on the accelerator and my hand on the wheel drives me straight on. <br /><br />But it's a bit of work trying to avoid the pot holes. :)Miss Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245580913844186039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-25499529770876015762010-08-22T09:04:01.684-05:002010-08-22T09:04:01.684-05:00I actually liked going to the circus when I was yo...I actually liked going to the circus when I was young.

As for living in a three-ring circus, I think I've done that. It seems we have to do so many things in order to have time to do the things we want to do. And I usually put the "want to do" things last, but I don't think the really successful authors or other creative people do this. Is this a "southern thing" or a "woman thing" or a "wife and mother thing?"

...Oops...I accidentally hit post. Onto the comment:<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of circuses either--the clowns. I find clowns rather disturbing. Although when I was a child, I had a brief fantasy of becoming a high-wire performer, which ended with my discovery of a fear of heights.
