adventures in love

I saw this and thought to myself, “yes, it’s ok.” Then I whispered it out loud, “It’s ok.”

I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately. Not too sure exactly why. I’m working a lot with most of my energy focused on delivering two projects, I’ve been a bit under the weather and, between you and me, it’s the longest stretch of my adult life that I’ve been single with no dating prospects. Not a good combination, right?

But we all go through stages of ups and downs, sideways and even backwards. The trick is not to stay stuck in any one stage. Because fundamentally life is good.

How do I bounce back? I take action. I plan a class, an activity, create a goal, make travel plans, reach out to friends…I do something. I take action.

But did I mention most of my energy is focused on work right now? By the time I get home from the office I’m exhausted. I have no desire to go out. I haven’t even had the mental energy to blog – hence the intermittent posts. I just want to be home in my backyard watering my grass.

And that’s ok.

Life should be balanced between work, family, self care and community. I’ve always had a bit of a problem with that. I tend to focus on work to support a family. It feels like it’s all I’ve ever known – work hard; work harder.

But it’s ok because there are seasons to life. Sometimes I have a tendency to want to rush through the uncomfortable times. I’m a doer. I want to push my will instead of letting God let his plan unfold. It’s at these times that I tell myself it’s ok that it’s taking time. And like most things, the energy shifts, the seasons change.

And its ok.

Sending you love and happiness.
