moder-what?

Come on, say it with me . . moder·ation.

moderation

Meaning:

1. the state or an instance of being moderate; mildness; balance


2. the act of moderating

in moderation within moderate or reasonable limits

What the heck does that mean?!

I'll admit I have a few tragic flaws . . yep, this is one of them.  Well, one of many.  Like:

Christmas card sending.
Calling people. [with my 6,124 rollover minutes]
Keeping track of my nieces/nephews birthday's [19 in all]
Being reactive
[insert 44 others]
okay, that's enough of that.

Bring on the quotes.

“Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide.” --- Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Whatever you do, do it in moderation” --- Proverb

"Moderation is the center wherein all philosophies, both human and divine, meet.” --- Benjamin Disraeli

However, I'm thinking Horace Porter has me figured out. . .

"Be moderate in everything, including moderation."

Bring on Oregon!

Let the training [that never stops] begin again!!

Any other moderation phobes out there?
