What does a balanced life mean to you?

Improbability.
;)
I kid. I kid. It means harmony of joy, growth and peace in my life.

Balance in the traditional sense doesn't seem much possible to me, at least not from the point where I'm standing now.

The act of balancing my life while I have so much fun and joy in this creative mess would be creating imbalence itself.

I love having lunch at noon one day, and at 5 o'clock the other. I love working like a maniac for a week on some design, taking a week off camping, and then returning to canvas instead of computer. I love not knowing what will I feel like working on this afternoon.

I know I will want more balance as I get older, but for now "balance" means harmony of joy, growth and peace in my life. And if someone sees this balance as imbalance, then I say Man, it is only his imbalance getting in his way ;)

Nice answer. 
Did you read the Douglas Adam's books? 
They had the “improbability drive.” 
Improbablity, a way to move.

Hi Kelly.
This is the first time I've heard of Douglas Adams.
Have no idea what's he about.
Maybe the improbability takes me to one of his book sometimes!

Oh! The The Hitchhiker's Guide!
Haven't read the book, but have watched the movie (and listened to at least four book reports on that one! ;)
Yeah, I love the cosmic humor!
