Feast or Famine

It’s funny when you get into the right mood and the ideas flood your mind like water down a canyon when the dam breaks. So much, so fast, that seems almost a waste only to disappear as quickly as it showed up. Everything I see sparks a possible column, Blog entry, speech segment, book, or article. And then there are times like today.

Life was going on great and then boom! One thing happens and it weighs on your mind like a wet blanket, suffocating all other thoughts and ideas. It causes our mind to stick on a cycle of emotions: hurt, anger, pride, sadness, despair, vulnerability. The world, although trying to cheer you up, seems to be powerless to change the mood, alter your thoughts, or inspire to reach back to that high experienced just shortly ago.

The only hope, really, is that as quickly as the “down” cycle began so can the “up” cycle. Today I pray it starts soon.
