*Catch the Wave* Today, I had a breakthrough. My blog post doesnt have to be a jaw-dropping, life-changing post EVERY day! I realized that I can give myself permission to post something short, light and/or funny when I need a break. I can settle into the comfort of trusting myself to pop back with a blog that punches at a later date, when my muse decides to make an appearance. I could be in a writing funk for a day, for a week, or for 3 months, though it never lasts THAT long! But even if it did, as my Grandmother taught me... This too shall pass. (link to post) The deeper lesson here: This. Is. Life. Every single day. This is it. How long am I going to should myself to death? I should have known better... I should do better... I should have done that differently... I shouldnt feel that way... I have to be careful that I dont SHOULD all over myself. Sometimes, my life is an ocean of enormous waves. Its a series of days when I expend all of my energy holding my breath, as I struggle to break the surface for my next gulp of oxygen. Those are the days when I am pummeled by wave after wave & I feel like I should have just stayed on the shore. Sometimes, my ocean is flat and reflects the sky like a glassy lake. These are the days that I find myself bored, wishing for the waves to come rolling back in. Any waves, even if they are uncomfortable. And sometimes, just sometimes, the motion of the ocean is just right! I get to catch the perfection of the best wave of my life and ride it all the way in to shore! My breakthrough today is enjoying my ocean, no matter what it brings. Because, ultimately, its ok to sit one out and enjoy lying on the beach & listening to the melody of the crashing waves.
