Flow
I occasionally hit these periods you could call flow. Things go well; I have high energy; relationships are good; work is good; life is good. If I try to do something, I hit the usual obstacles, but things go pretty well. I don’t know what you call the opposite (I have a few ideas), but life seems to default there. I got to thinking – 2002/3 has been one challenge after another. 2002 was a good year, a necessary year, but also a tough and miserable one in terms of enjoyment. So far in 2003, our whole family has been sick, relationships have had more challenges, and no matter how hard I try to stay on track, I can’t seem to get traction. Why is this? Why, for no discernable reason, does life go from flow to spurts? Is there no reason? Maybe this is just life. Most of it is out of our control. Maybe some of it is about soul conditions. (I do have one theory: I think being too busy could be part of the problem.)
