Forced Reset

It’s the middle of the night. I’m still awake, writing this post on my phone, in a different state, sandwiched between two little sleeping boys in a much-too-small bed in a hotel room that I unexpectedly booked 10 minutes before checking in, just moments ago. If that doesn’t summarize my life, I’m not sure what does.

I’ve had a week. Some of the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows. I’ve served people, and I’ve been served. I’ve been on the giving end of generosity, and the receiving end. I’ve made some people really, really happy…..and others whatever the opposite of happy is.

My tank is simultaneously full and empty. I have a million ideas to write about, but also none. The mind feels crowded, but also empty.

I have so many stories to share, ideas to present, and encouragement to foster. Yet, I don’t have the mental or emotional capacity to adequately share them with the vigor and thoughtfulness they deserve.

So, today, I think the idea on the table is about getting a reset. Despite my best efforts to prove otherwise, we can’t go 100mph for weeks on end and expect a healthy outcome.

I’m hoping to find a reset somewhere in my weekend…..hopefully today. I hope you do, too. I also hope you’re better at this than me. If not, I’m so sorry. Let’s try to improve on this together.

A forced reset is still a reset, so reset I will. Have a wonderful day, and I can’t wait to share more with you tomorrow…..when I’m not delirious.
