I think a major ingredient in keeping the balance is to stick close to the Church. By that I don\'t mean just going to as many services as possible, but sticking close to the church -community-. Hanging out with people from the church in your everyday life. This is tough to do in a far-flung parish-- you have to make deliberate plans. Just being with other people who are undergoing the same struggle is a help.
