I feel it over and over, some days. Whatever thoughts I channel, whatever steps I take, I feel…

FLAT.

It’s like an engine that won’t get warm; it’s like muscles that won’t loosen up. It’s pretty frustrating, on the face of it.

It stays…FLAT.

The question becomes more insistent, how to mix it up, how to break away from the stick, the stuck?

And then gradually….? Nope…it continues to feel FLAT,

FLAT,

And then step after step, do something…and then something else…another thing on the list, and another, and still…

FLAT.

And I think that’s the lesson of this moment…it’s FLAT, but eventually, it becomes less so….less

FLAT,

And bit by bit, just doing the things you know you can do, do the next right thing…and eventually, it gets better.

IT GETS BETTER.
