Running on empty, and yet somehow running full steam. I love how it is possible to do that, to be so close to just collapsing and then gather that extra bit of energy it takes to launch into the next project and have it lift you back up.
I never ceased to be amazed by how life seems to just feed on the energy you produce. The more you put in, the more it generates. I guess it really is true what they say about working out, it does boost your metabolism and give you extra energy. And it is not just the gym that does it for you. Working your mind can provide the extra lift, putting extra energy into your family, your friends, your hobbies - all of it. Everytime you push a bit more effort in it seems to pay-off with a thrust of additional energy available. Who needs food when you can generate this kind of automatic rush from just doing?
I am not trying to say that "down-time" is a bad idea (though I have to admit my idea of down-time usually has some activity built-in). But I do so enjoy the rush of living at full tilt. It just seems to make everyday more invigorating and enticing. And it definitely adds spice and flavor to life. I am lucky enough to have a bountiful, active life.
Life is for living - why do it asleep at the wheel?
Its Cold Out Here....but Beautiful....
