Recession

According to wikipedia, recession is "contraction, a general slowdown in economic activity. During recessions, many macroeconomic indicators vary in a similar way. Production, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), employment, investment spending, capacity utilization, household incomes, business profits, and inflation all fall, while bankruptcies and the unemployment rate rise."

Plain and simple: all the good stuff falls while the bad stuff rises.

If I apply that definition to normal life

That has been me (and consequently my blog activity) 

over the last week.

A contraction,

A general slowdown in activity,

A fall in production

and

in capacity utilization

and

A raise in my ability

to pay back


to give
attention

to my blog

and 

to other areas

of 

my life.....

Huh, MY LIFE....

Not sure what that means

anymore.

This Wednesday I will turn 34

and 
I still have the sense
of
being a boat 
(just a slighter bigger boat than 10 years ago)
that gets hit
by a sudden rogue wave
wiping out its maneuver
power.



I guess
just like the ocean
life has 
large and spontaneous waves
that hit
and can feel and be threatening to boats.




This week

I experienced

that

 just like sailors do

 when a rogue wave hits,

it's best to head into it at an angle

that moves into the same direction

so that you can

RIDE THE WAVE
