The Light Bulb Above My Head

Lately I’ve been feeling a sense of ennui. My life has become staid. I’ve been feeling like Lillie Von Shtupp in Blazing Saddles singing, “I’m tired, so tired.” So, what can a person do when they feel like they are doing the same damn thing every-single-day? (that’s a partially rhetorical question)

Foolishly, I spent about 15 minutes online, prior to bunking down for the night, reading about the moderate success of a former friend. No–there was no envy. I seriously felt proud of my former friend and her impending success. Though it did get me thinking…Why was I so stuck? What could I do differently?

The cartoon light bulb went off above my head. It blazed at 140watts or more and damn near kept me up a chunk of the night. It blazed so bright I had to kick back half an Ativan to take down the anxiety I was feeling about possibly implementing my idea.

Today, I floated my idea by a couple of people, to test the waters, see if it would float. So far, the feedback has been good.

Next step…planning!
