How can the world go from being such a fun and exciting place, full of opportunities and life to so not that? I had the best time in Turkey (in case you did not figure that out from the last blog) and now I having the worst week possible. I guess to experience and appreciate times of true fun and love and happiness, we need the pits of despair and intense frustration for comparison. It is the pendulum swing that Dr. Woodring is always talking about. You see it all the way through history. Something happens to an extreme in one direction so the other extreme happens to balance it. Eventually it reaches neutrality again. Have you tried living life in a neutral position? I have not found it to be possible. The gentle swings - good days then not so good days - are easy to handle and normal. When the pendulum starts swinging harder though, it's so insane trying to get it back under control. So, that's my week ... please tell me yours sucks too then we can gripe together.
