That’s what I have been doing for the last few months… or at least it sure feels that way. It’s not a complaint… merely an observation. I fully appreciate the ebb and flow of life and this is most definitely a case of the latter. Where ebbs go it really not a bad one… just feels a little too sedentary for my liking.
Yet, in an odd way the glow of promise up ahead seems more radiant than it has been for a while. Its not like I’ve been shuffling in a stupor all this time (OK… maybe some) but stuff is getting done. Admittedly at a somewhat laid back pace but the pile of accomplishments do seem to be growing. Mostly little “fix-its” around the homestead… and doing so only inspires more ambitious projects down the line.
The ideal of course is to attempt straddling the “catch-up” pile and the “forge ahead” one simultaneously. A tricky proposition at best and a dodgy one at worst. Staying exclusively on either one only gives rise to the frustration from the “one step forward and two steps back” syndrome. I would rather be heading somewhere than nowhere… so, for now I will take a page from the tortoise and work the slow and steady ethos.
Here is hoping that this Thursday is a rewarding one for all of us.
