That’s how Life can feel for some of us.
We describe our daily routine as a struggle, a battle, or some other term
encompassing the random, yet consistent chaos that is your life. And the more
your determination is communicated as anger, resentment, pain and such, the
more the opposing forces will build against you to stop your constant attempt
for change. Once you accept the theory of action, reaction and opposing
balance, you will be able to find balance in the chaos that you don’t control.
That about sums up what I have gotten out
of my endless months of blog silence. The valleys have been very deep indeed
and the ascensions that followed were just as breathtaking and arduous, and
here I am…hitting the Reboot button on life, again. And during this mild
hilltop moment, I’ve found myself writing, a lot. The love and interest in
certain pastimes has returned over the last 24 months, in increments, including
baking and the need to make some sweaters. All these things were lost to me
during times of depressive valleys.
I hope to make the most of this year’s
opportunities, whether I create them or receive them for like-minded people. I
have come to the conclusion that the struggle is more of a bumpy journey if you
learn to understand and work through, around or with your situation to correct
it to fit your current needs and wants. I’ve come to understand that
Contentment is far easier to achieve than defined Happiness. You cannot expect
respect for yourself if you don’t respect yourself.
So I go into 2016 on another Reboot. With
some unresolved situations that need to be finalized and some new ideas and
hopes that may need to be realized. But the ultimate conclusion is: that I’m
able to do any of what I do on a daily basis is awesome, to say the least. And
I’m trying to make the most of this life as the highs and lows allow. And I’m
going to use those same highs and lows to my advantage on this Reboot. 3, 2,
1…Click.
