Treading water

Just going through the motions? Are you tired of the routine?
You're actually keeping things going. Don't be hard on yourself.

If you stopped, life would not come to halt. Things would keep happening, but order would be gone. If you did something else, in just a little while, the new would wear off and you'd only have a new grind. If you ran away, you would only create a second timeline: more activities, responsibilities, and work.

When you tread water, you swim in place with your head above water, moving arms and legs in order to stay afloat. You can't touch, and you don't go anywhere. If you stop, you sink. If you choose a direction, it only takes two extra kicks to get going that way.

Treading water is great exercise: it builds stamina and endurance.
Let's go over those questions again.

Just going through the motions? Are you tired of the routine?
Don't be disappointed for the apparent lack of progress. You're getting stronger by the minute.

Resurrection

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I got busy and time just flies.

I never really abandoned the blog. There were just other things that demanded my attention. Now, I wish I could say the house was in order and the laundry was done up, or that my novel is finally going to hit the bookstores. Life just got in the way.

But despite all that, right now I have 646 followers on Twitter. Thank you!

The thought for the day is "resurrection" naturally, as the title foreshadows. We do it every day. We get up and start all over again. Usually, our habits kick in and we don't think about it all that much. But when you're ...

stuck in traffic
waiting for the bus
typing at the office
ordering lunch
changing diapers
feeding the baby
stopping the fight at the playground
drying the tears
turning in your assignment
starting a new job

... remember that you get another chance.
You're resetting the game and hitting go, one more time.

Jesus gave us another chance. Let's make it count.

Happy Easter!
