There are times in your life where you’re focused in, making shit happen and kicking ass along the way. There are other times when you’re in retreat, trying to recover from the wounds of life and recharge what battery you have left.
Then there’s the times when you just fucking get by.
For a while now, I feel like I’ve been in the “just getting by” timeframe.
Work is work and that simply means that I am beyond fucking burnt out by it. Kids are both graduated from school and now of legal age, so while I still have parenting things to do, it’s dramatically less and different. In my community, I have found a comfortable place to exist and be. Even for a while, I felt like I was just getting by in my relationships… at least till a few started to crumble beneath my feet.
I can feel the tide turning in some ways. Today, my relationships… well, they’re not in the “getting by” place. That’s one area in which there’s a focus and positive momentum. My focus on a new project has me working my ass off to unlock the hidden mystery of making that shit go – and that challenge has been both frustrating and timely. One of my favorite places for socializing has changed, moved to a new location – and while we may visit still, it’s going to be a different thing altogether.
In other words, changes are happening around me and it’s pushing me past the “just getting by” pace.
I am in the process of reorienting myself, determining what priorities to hold on to and which to let fall to the side, and charting my course forward. But I am no longer just getting by.
It’s time to start getting focused, making shit happen and kicking ass along the way.
Should be an interesting ride!
