Is everything in balance?

Talked to my best friend yesterday, she's my primary school mate, and she lives in HK now.  We didn't see each other very often, cos I don't really stay long in HK since I was 16, but  she's the one who I can share my worries, happiness/ unhappiness.  People always said you can make really life-time friends from schools only.  It's true for me.  Other friends?  I'm like riding on a bus, people get-in and get-off on the bus stop.  I think life is like that, people walk-in and walk-out in your life.

I called her cos I have problem with my Dad's wife.  If my Dad's wife is not so greedy, selfish and bad (pls. see my previous blog in "letter to my Dad"), maybe everything will work out fine, and my brother and I are willing to help her.  I feel disturbed cos I seldom to be the bad person.  I always love to help others.  If she's not so greedy, maybe she can get what she wants.  Life is like that, God gives you something, and will take away something from you as well.  I'm from a single-parent family, but I have a good, happy family now with Eric and Amelie; I don't have a good father, but I have a good husband; I don't have a good career, but I have a good marriage; that's the way I used to comfort myself, everything is on the scale, everything is in balance, you gain something, and you loose something.  So do you think your life is in balance as well?
