Yeah, yeah, I know.  I haven’t written in a long time.  The Critical Parent inside me is having a field day with that.  Does yours do that to you?  I hope not, because it really sucks!  And the interesting thing is that it doesn’t help me post here more often.  No!  It actually keeps me away from writing.  And then, after a while, it says that I should just stop posting to the blog completely – take it down forever.  Nobody cares what I have to say, anyway…

Whew!

So, here I am writing.  I am taking the risk of acting against the advice of my Critical Parent.  Danger!  But it’s danger I am willing to face, for my sake, if for no one else’s…

Speaking of which, I am overflowing with ideas today.  Ideas of products, projects, things to do, places to go, questions to ask, books to write – literally.  All at once, it is exciting and scary.  I am hopeful and afraid. I am happy and mad.  I am feeling a bit crazy!

Ever have that happen, when you are experiencing more than one conflicting feeling at a time?  Until I was in my 20′s, I thought that meant I was crazy.  Then, I read in a book that it doesn’t mean that.  Want to know what it means?  It means that I am having more than one conflicting feeling at a time!  Seriously!  I would add that it also means that I am human, and that I am alive.  Now that‘s a relief.

So next time you are having more than one conflicting feeling at a time, let your self take in and let out one long, deep breath of relief, and remember that you are alive!  Woo-hoo!

Check in here again soon, and I will let you in on some of the stuff I am contemplating and doing.  Notice I didn’t say check in tomorrow or even later this week?  It looks like my Nurturing Parent has a few things to say on the subject, too, thank goodness!

What does yours have to say?
