Yin and Yang

Is it possible to be at peace yet stressed?  That's how I feel...  I guess the peace part is that I am at peace with my choices but I am stressed with what lies ahead since making the choice. 

I remember hearing something about the yin and yang of life and that life is learning to balance them out.  At times you will be more yang (Yang is fast, hard, solid, focused, hot, dry, and aggressive; and is associated with fire, sky, the sun, masculinity and daytime) and other times you have more yin (Yin is characterized as slow, soft, yielding, diffuse, cold, wet, and passive; and is associated with water, earth, the moon, femininity and nighttime).  I guess balance is the key to many things in life because we are never going to have the perfect stress free life.  There is always going to be something going on in your life that rocks the boat, but it is how you handle the rocking.  Do you sit calmly with your life vest on and ride it out or do you tend to stand up, arms flailing everywhere and tip the boat over?  I am going to ride out the storm and come out the other side a little stronger and wiser than before.  I am going to take charge of my life and the life of my children and lead them through these tough times the best I can and hopefully they will be stronger and wiser.  Who knows they could teach me a think or two while we tough out this storm and start our new journey together.
