Belly Flop

So starting anew ain't that easy. Could swear I have heard that somewhere before...


I have been fumbling around now for weeks, from one blog site to another, stuck on layouts and colours, names and themes, when all I really want to be doing is writing and posting and inspiring, not wasting time on aesthetics. Without a "project" per se, I have been lost, unfocused.

But we do that, don't we? When we're nervous or afraid, or feeling stuck, frozen, unsure, we procrastinate and tip toe closer, when sometimes we would be better off just diving in already! Like at the lake, looking down at the cold dark water from up high above on the bridge where the jump itself (the first step) is the most frightening thing. But once you go, even if you belly flop, smacking hard and sharp on the frigid water world below, it turns out it wasn't so scary after all. One might say it was exhilarating even.

Our own fears are so often so much worse than whatever is really at hand. So this here is my belly flop, finally I am jumping in. No more dragging my feet. Doesn't matter if it hurts a little, once you're all wet, the water isn't that cold and the fun is just about to begin...
