Dry Spell

Have you ever gotten on a roller coaster and wondered, “What the heck am I doing this for?” Have you ever left the park feeling like you’ve exhausted yourself and you have no more energy to give to riding the roller coaster and all the yelling and laughing and jerking around?

Well, that’s been me on this ride for the last couple of months, to be honest. And honesty is what this blog is about. I promised when I started to write this blog that it would include the ups and downs, the laughs and screams.

Since just before Christmas things in my life have been up and then down, up and then down further, then up a bit, and down a bit, then up a lot, then down a lot. It has been a long ride. In fact I think that some of the ride had water features, because I’ve felt all wet too, at times! Oddly, I say that, but I’ve been experiencing quite the dry spell with all my writing, including my private journal writing.

I have prided myself with writing a couple of weeks or more a head on my blog so that when this sort of thing happened, or I got too busy to write, I would still be on top of the ride. But I ran out of steam over a month ago now.

Now I’m not telling you this to get sympathy. Sympathy is a useless tool. It doesn’t really help anything. The last couple of weeks I’ve been reading two books. One is called Make Miracles in Forty Days: Turning What you Have into What you Want by Melody Beattie, and The law of Divine Compensation: On Work, Money, and Miracles by Marianne Williamson. Both are two of my favourite authors. Well I have many favs actually. But I was calling for a Miracle in my life, several actually, and Melody’s book was sitting on my Kindle for quite some time and I’d ‘forgotten’ to read it. Well I don’t believe in happenstance or coincidences. So I read it. I’m now working with a friend to create some miracles in both of our lives. I recommend it highly.

Then part way through that book I cam across another book that was on my wish list (mentioned above) and so I started reading it as well. They compliment each other amazingly. 

Miracles, it seems, are not about
creating changes in circumstances.
They are about changing
the way we view circumstances.

For me, the miracles are already starting. I am so grateful. Some may be a while yet, in coming. That’s okay too. The first one is that I actually feel like writing again. It may not be daily for a bit. But I am getting back to it.

How has your ride been lately? Feel free to comment below or write me privately. I promise to reply.

Great people are not those who have never fallen down. Great people are those who, when they do fall down, dig deep within themselves and find the strength to get back up. Sometimes that dark night of the soul teaches us some very important things about ourselves…
