With the exception of fun my life seems to be pretty balanced. However, when I have the opportunity to have fun it generally is something that I cherish and can think about for the days and weeks to come. The other three categories allow me to have fun as an everyday occurrence but I don't think it is in the sense that the book was trying to emphasize.
This activity wasn't easy but here is a stab at it.

I agree this exercise was not easy but it was enlightening. I beleive you are one of the lucky ones because your life does seem balanced.
The maintenance section gave me a couple of aha moments. One of them is the tendency to add something else instead of improving what we have. Did the maintenance section touch you at all?
I find it interesting that the gym was in all of the areas.
Amazing that one place can have so much of an impact across a variety of aspects of our lives.
Achievement, escape, relief of frustration, friendship with like minds - I think I'll go to the gym now myself.jrd
Exercise seems to be a central theme to many of our happiness tools. Perhaps it is the endorphins secreted when we push our physical envelope or is it much deeper psycologicaly?
