Drowning
Monday, October 20th, 2008
I have been having the sense of drowning lately, yet there is nary adrop of water anywhere near. Life is all encompassing and though I know I have so very much to be grateful for- I still feel that the nuances and stresses are getting the better of me.
How do we rise above the mundacity, how do we get ahead? When is the time in life when all these concerns are behind us and we move forward safe, happy and secure? Or are these dreams, delusions?
Normally, I am an optimist. I am a cheerleader. I am the one to look at the bright side, to walk on the sunny side, to let someone in the lane in front of me because I still know I will get there even if it is 30 seconds later. I am the one who holds it all together. So why am I drowning? Has the time come at last for someone else to throw the life boat? If so- I welcome it whole heartedly.
