Fast equals slow

Watching playoff Hockey and April baseball makes realize a couple of things regarding time. the faster the action you watch the slower time goes by. You are watching a penalty kill which is only two minutes but it atkes forever. You watch an inning of baseball and absolutely nothing (or everything depending on your interpretation of reality) happens and you are astonded to see that while nothing was happening an hour has gone by. I am not well trained or schooled enough to understand how this all relates to the space time continuum or quantum physics but I am sure my daughter could explain it to me if she understood base ball.
Therein lies the rub

This is the day

can you exchange one obsession for another seamlessly? That is what I will try to find out moving forward. Out with what once seemed so necessary and in with what seems distant and unattainable. All in the quest for higher ground. Constantly tweaking, ammending and rebooting. Does it ever get easier? This is what I think. Somedays are easier some are not. most are in between. The difficult days never go away so it is important to take note of the easier ones when one is so blessed. But how to keep mindful...
ahhh, there's the rub.

staying well

One thing I find to be perplexing is the difficulty and ever escalating effort involved in staying healthy. It is like you are treading water and they keep raising the bar for what it takes to keep afloat. In the back of my mind things should get easier with repetition and effort; so that you reach a point where you begin to relax a bit and reap the benefits of your efforts. But the older I get, the more this too seems to be one of those fairy tales we learned when we were young - like fairness.

"how did I get here?"

As usuall I have arrived at this time and place through distraction, meandering and curiosity. Now that I have arrived I hope to stumble into to something good, if not great. It is possible right? After all I beat all odds so far 8-)
