I finally had my melt down.  I started spiraling down down down last February.  Yesterday DH helped me melt down at last.  There is something about rock bottom that helps me back up again.  It is like I can’t stop the spiral down until I hit a low low enough to stop, catch my breath, and start trudging back up again.  Some have asked me why do I bother going back up again if I am 99% sure I am headed for another tumble.  I figure it is like doing dishes, I wash dishes knowing full well they will get dirty again.  I agree with Zig Ziglar

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. Zig Ziglar

When I hit bottom again, I sit for a bit, figure out what trigger shot me down, restructure weak areas and start trudging back up again.  I believe the beauty of thriving is the willingness to get back up and get back in to living again.
