Finding a Place Between

Sometimes we do all we can to

Find a Place Between…..

Fluff and Nitty Gritty

Boredom and Stress

Productivity and Relaxation

Stimulation and Rest

Mindfulness and Mindlessness

Inspiration and Frustration

Focus and Distraction

Insomnia and Sleep

Knowing and Not Knowing

Confidence and Questioning

Organization and Chaos

Purpose and Whimsy

Walking on Eggshells and Sliding on Ice

Dusk and Dawn

Sunrise and Sunset.

Life is Short.

Find Your Place.

This piece was written last evening and inspired by my third consecutive night of insomnia, scanning my phone and seeing a blogger I know, also up in the middle of the night, and a friend who also appeared to be online at 2 a.m.. I made no attempt to contact either of them, because after all, we all should have been sleeping. Being awake got me thinking or is it thinking got me awake. Sometimes I cannot tell which comes first.

Last night, I slept well and the snow is blowing again. February has been a rough month for weather as we are stuck in winter between spring and fall. Looking forward to finding a greener in between place.
