To Survive

Jekyll Island Georgia

As much as I'd hate to admit it, I've been feeling pretty good the last few days. I've been sleeping better, the weathers been really nice, and my body is adjusting to the walks I've been taking each day. All and all not a bad week, just the kind of week they should print postcards for saying, “Wish you were here”. 

But enough about my glam life (if you only knew), I've mentioned a few times, my emotional state comes in waves. And at the moment the waves are calm allowing me to go about my day very peacefully. Oddly enough, being in a good place can jam my creative spark. I'm sure you've heard it before; that an "artist" can lose their "mojo" when there's no conflict going on. 

To a point I believe that's true. In my own live I tend to create less when I’m enjoying myself. But I would also say there are times when I've written inspired words even when I'm in a "good place". The thing is, life is a series of peaks and valleys. As a writer, my job is to communicate my thoughts into easy to understand words. Although it seems things like conflict, anger, and doubt produce better written works. Words of affirmation and joy can do the same.  

My point here is, appreciate the good days and think of them as a recharging point. Because if you're like me, bad days will come and it's good to have some reserve energy to fall back on. Remember not every day goes as we plan it. There will be rainy messy days mixed in with the sunshine and light breezes. The key is to learn to appreciate both, because all life needs sunshine and rain to survive.
