Hi there fellow bloggers. Its been a while. Just had quick look at my last blog and it appears I forgot to explain what intermission is. Therefore I shall do my best to remedy the situation.
I have spent the past couple of years changing my life. However, along the way the journey began to stagnate. I think that there are times when this stagnation is a deliberate act of divine intervention to force one to take a breath and reflect on where one is heading and how to get there. Now I realise that this time is necessary for the well being and balance for a well adjusted person. However, I am not so sure that I am well adjusted yet. What I am sure of is that the period of reflection was taking way too long for my liking and it began to wear on my patience. Not that I have a lot of patience and anyone who knows me will happily attest to that.
During this period of waiting, I began to think about all the things I want to do and how I want to get there. I travelled the highways of my mind and came up with zip. I mean honestly how was I to move forward when I felt like I was sitting in intermission. Intermission for those of you who are too young to remember is when, in the old days of drive-in theatre and cinema was new, was the part in the movie where it stopped so that the projectionist, (the man that puts the reels on the machine) could change the reel so that the next part of the movie or new movie could begin. So while the change of the reel was happening you had intermission. During intermission you sat in your car and snogged your boyfriend if you had one or you just sat there, waiting. Waiting for the movie to begin.
During my period of transformation I felt as though I had reached intermission. The part in the movie where you sit and wait. What was I waiting for, why was it taking so long and how could I move things along? I asked myself these questions daily and I pondered ways in which I could get things moving, but it didn't matter what I did, nothing happened. Everything stayed the same.
I thought about Einstein's theory of insanity '...if you keep doing things the same way and expect change...' thats insanity. I kept thinking about this and I whole heartedly agree that I needed to do things differently. I needed to manage my life differently. Big question, how?
I thought about how? And once again came up with zip. I was in intermission. The powers of the universe had halted my life and put my brain into neutral. I couldn't think clearly, everything was blurring and I was spending a lot of time being reflective. The higher powers of the universe had forced me to wait while they changed the reel on the movie. I thought about this a lot and wondered how the next part of this movie was going to play out. I got interested in my own life as I waited.
I waited because as I said earlier, no matter what I did I could not seem to get things moving. It was torture, waiting. It drove me insane. In my insanity I began the uni semester and work became hectic and I had no time to think about 'waiting'. In fact I forgot that I was in intermission. The days were long and a bit boring but I was busy. Suddenly out of the blue I had a fabulous experience that reignited my enthusiasm and kick started my life again.
Totally inspirational experience it was and now I am on my way. Thank you to those who made me wait and now for my next big adventure. Can't wait to see how this unfolds. The journey begins.
Life is good!
