And yes...the balanced emotions are

what I would prefer. That is why I need to watch for my stressors, which sometimes include such happy events as spiritual retreats. They are wonderful, but the euphoria can set in and take hold in me. I pray I can maintain a nice balance. I am attending one (women's retreat from our church) at the end of the month. I am really looking forward to it, but also a bit hesitant that my enthusiasm and elation could elevate to a more 'toxic' level for me. In His hands :)
