Isn’t just so frustrating when you start something with such drive and passion only to be knocked back by some outside force?

The past several weeks I’ve felt this effect. My body gets all sick and my mind is all depressed, I do my best to manage it all and work towards improving my situation only to be set back by something. If it’s an outside force, I may get slightly disheartened, but I can carry on. If it’s my body having more troubles, then it’s harder to push through.

And then there’s nights like tonight; I’m writing up a blog post with the intention of talking about one subject, but I end up working about something else. I really want to finish my original post, so I save it as a draft for later and start writing my new post only to have the same thing happen again after a couple paragraphs.

False starts can be hard to deal with. But this week I’m really trying to maintain a certain level of drive so I can get stuff done even with a broken body. I’ve got a lot to do and deal with, but I’m always optimistic things will work out, because they always do eventually. The journey is long, slow, and difficult, but I’ll get there.

Keep on keeping on, friends!
