I have been under the weather.
Well, that’s an understatement.
I have been in a NyQuil, self-induced coma for the past 2 days.
I hate taking anything over-the-counter or along the lines of medicine.
Sometimes however, ’tis necessary to keep our sanity and provide the rest needed to heal.
I am noticing a pattern.
It seems whenever I unearth a new pattern, a new layer to my creative self that there is a period of, um, adjustment?
As if my physical body needs to put up some road blocks and yell back, “hey! hold on! remember me?”
You would think I would have learned that by now.
The truth is, I felt I was being quite gentle with myself this time around.
I was getting up earlier and accomplishing more yet also going to bed earlier and not pushing too hard.
I think the truth is that every creation has a bit of destruction to it.
In order to build a house you need to dig out a foundation.
In order to create a painting you need to break open the paints and smear them on canvas.
In order to stretch yourself into a new role there are some growing pains.
That or I just caught the flu from the shopping carts at Kids R Us.
Seems pretty likely 😉
I hope this post finds you well and gearing up for an amazing week.
As for me, I imagine most of my week will be moving slowly and gently back towards normal.
And I’m ok with that.
