I’m feeling a little sassy today and thought it would be fun to flip life balance upside down. Here’s a little diddy about a life that works backwards…
Note: If you are a regular visitor to CreateaBalance.com, you may find the ending a little risqué. I am daring to step out of my blogging comfort zone!
In My Next Life!
by Paula Smith
I want to live my next life backwards:
You start out dead and get that out of the way.
Then you wake up in a nursing home feeling better every day.
Then you get kicked out for being too healthy.
Enjoy your retirement and collect your pension.
Then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.
You work 40 years until you’re too young to work.
You get ready for High School: drink alcohol, party, and you’re generally promiscuous.
Then you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, and you have no responsibilities.
Then you become a baby, and then…
You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in Spa-like conditions - central heating, room service on tap, and then…
You finish off as an ()rgasm.
I rest my case.
Note to Self > Did I just post this on CreateaBalance.com? I must be practicing the art of balancing inspiration and humor. You go girl!

Stacey! Stepping outside of your comfort zone - I love that!
A life backwards - think how smart we would actually be as teenagers. We would think we knew all the answers, and then, we’d really have a lot of them based on our experiences from before (or, is it after). And, hey, we finish off in a great big bang!!
A little risqué, a little humor, a different view on life - nice job today! It’s good to mix things up every now and then…
Lances last blog post..Fog: Does It Slow You Down?
That was definitely sassy and I absolutely loved it! I’m going to put this link on twitter - people need to see it!
Barely raised an eyebrow for me in the risque dept, but the idea is fantastic. I appreciate your sharing it, and the risk you felt you needed to overcome for to post it. It’s good to dare yourself. I know when my piece “Sing a Song of Sexpence” hit the blogosphere, I cringed, but it seems the metaphor went right under the radar and nobody “got” what I was really writing about.

@ Lance – Thanks! Part of practicing the art of life balance is for me to balance all the different voices of being Stacey. It felt good to mix it up a bit.
@Stacey – Thanks for the Twitter mention and the Facebook wall post.
@Kip de Moll – Yes, I know the post is tame compared to the rest of the web. Isn’t it amazing what are egos consider to be risky?
Remain authentic to your personal comfort level. No one needs to be more outrageous just because the Internet has outrageous nooks and crannies.

@Kip de Moll - My personal comfort level is somewhere near the edge where I challenge myself to truly feel alive. I won’t, however, be jumping into any crazy nooks or crannies any time soon. Thanks!
Ooh, I like this idea, and the exciting way you’ve presented! Only if we could!
