Life's SummationEntry #293490

I've been riding on a crest for well over two weeks. Having little time to breathe also means even less time to write.

Once in a while, Life calls on a writer to live first and write later. The wise author pays attention to the summons, acknowledging the potential for inspiration. Yes, this does sound like an excuse to fail in honoring my commitment, but perhaps a summation of events past and present might be in order.

Returning home after visiting Trey proved to be a balancing act. Personal and professional commitments battled for control of me and I'm still not sure if the match is over yet. I won't go into specifics other than to acknowledge that it is possible to cover all of ones bases and still get three quality hours of sleep each night. I'm also a firm believer in attitude. It can make or break you. Tell me you don't sense the attitudes of people you encounter and react accordingly.

Professional triumphs exceeded all expectations, but only after laying the arduous groundwork necessary for success. Personal tribulations have tested my backbone and patience levels at a time in my life when I need their cooperation. But this too shall pass. An event last weekend served to weaken already frayed lines of communication with my estranged and soon to be ex-communicated ex-husband. Irrepairable damage was done and now the violater has fled to lick his wounds. I take no responsiblity for the actions of those I am no longer bound to.

Days fade into nights quicker than hourglass has the right to allow. I don't dare blink twice or pause to watch the sunset in silence, fearing the repercussions of such self indulgence.

This experiment in documenting some of Life's milestones can perhaps be classified as an inconclusive hypothesis. I am after all, a work in process.
