My theme for the A to Z Blog Challenge @AprilA2Z during the month of April is ~ My Life Is My Masterpiece ~ Lessons Learned
“Life is a series of highs and lows.
Be grateful for the highs.
Be graceful in the lows.
Enjoy life fully and find contentment in your Middle Ground”Val Boyko
************
I’ve consistently found myself gravitating to the middle ground when faced with a dilemma and making difficult decisions. As long as I can remember, my inclination is to step back and observe before jumping on the band wagon. Sometimes I’d envy those ‘take charge’ people who could step up at those times of drama and ‘just do it’ when it was necessary. I still admire them. For me though, I operate better through finding my middle ground. I have a need to see the process before I can find my place in the highs and lows of life.
One of the first Blogs that I started following when I signed up with WordPress was Find Your Middle Ground. It was so great to connect with other bloggers who were also following their intuition on this.

I think even those “take charge” people can learn a little from their middle ground. Being centered is a good thing. Great post! 🙂

Middle child and middle ground often go together – middle children are more accommodating and tend to go with the flow. First borns like me tend to take responsibility for everything (even when it’s not our problem!) Leanne @ cresting the hill
