Life of late has been really challenging. Up one minute and down the next... close to realizing dreams one day and seemingly a thousand miles away the next.
I'm generally an optimist by nature and even more so when things are going our way. My life is like the rollercoasters I love to ride.
My career runs the same track. I get really involved in the projects I tackle and take things personally all the way through, both the triumphs and the defeats. I give from the heart on every job. Over the top or not at all.
Not a safe way to play any game but the only possible way I choose to be involved in life and the career I love.
I'm not complaining here, I love it.
Some days I get as frustrated as anyone on the board. Some days I feel like crying. But most days I sing!
So have I achieved a milestone lately to prompt this post? Nope... it's been a wild, wild week. But the future looks like a fun ride. I celebrate all aspects of the journey!
I hope yours is as much fun!

Gosh I know what you mean Dan. Some days are completely UP...you are walking on sunshine!!! Other days....sheesh....it's like anything I touch messes up. Those are the times to just take the day off and jump sky high on the trampoline.....and other times it's great to work the midnight hours. Being self employed is intense at times....yep up and down. What a trip huh.

Yep...I know what you mean.
Lately...I will be going about my day and then suddenly I will experience moments of sheer bliss...it stops me in my tracks...it almost takes my breath away...I try to hold on to that moment as long as possible...WOW...what a feeling!!!! I have noticed that this is happening more and more...perhaps it will be the way I feel all the time. I don't know if my system will overload with this much joy.
So Dan...I certainly can relate..."LIFE IS GOOD!" Posted by AdrienneMorgan (Member # 1046) on :

Dan, Life is a table-stakes game with no limits and I do admire the way you choose to play the game! Thanks for the reminder and the inspiration!
Jackson, like you, I find those moments of bliss more often lately. However, I'm not worried in the least about my system being overloaded with too much joy. In fact I hope my obituary reads..."Chris died today cuz that boy was just havin' TOO MUCH FUN"
