I’m reminded of the song…

As I start this BB (Buddha Balboa) journey in blog form, I hear the old tune Donny & Marie (yes, that would be of Osmond fame…insert eye roll here) would sing on their weekly entertainment show.  “I’m a little bit country…and I’m a little bit rock and roll…” etc, etc…which would lead the duo into singing songs from their particular musical genre, Marie’s being Country, and Donny’s Rock and Roll.  

I see life that way – a little bit of this and a little bit of that.  A pinch of this and smattering of that.  It’s a recipe for a complete life.

Life is not perfect.  Nor does it ever pretend to be.  We have our Buddha moments – in peace and enlightment, and we have our Balboa times, when fighting the battle is the only way through.  But how amazing is that?  How lucky are we to FEEL….to have emotions that allow us to experience incredible joy and also shed tears of sadness?  One does not exist without the other.

I embrace Buddha and Balboa as my guides.

And as far as music goes, I’m an eclectic – I’m a little bit country and little bit rock and roll.  (Oh be quiet.)
