SEARCHING ROOTS

I still have all this energy.
No longer thinking adrenalin is involved.
Not my first – hopefully not my last – twice recently ‘energy from nowhere’ experiences got me thinking, more than: oh, isn’t that interesting?
I reached a conclusion yesterday [‘what’ doesn’t matter – mentioning it here/now would distract from my track] after two years. Percolation, vacillation and rumination.
Zap …
Out of nowhere, frenetically busy mid-day. Conclusion arrived. Like some energy surge switch flipped.
Wow, better harness this.
Energy flowed. Within one hour I had done taken three important things to advance something I’ve day-dreamed, pondered – discussed very little – but never acted on. Not ‘opening a file’, or making a few calls. Action. Real. Steps. Adrenalin rush (or was it caffeine)?
Seems to have survived the rest of yesterday, and survived overnight. Maybe it’s not adrenaline.
Why, how, did I believe this is unique?
I had another of these ‘mistaken adrenaline rush’ events recently. The other, a fantastic project in the making, went from query email from my client to ‘we are doing something significant’ so swiftly.
And again yesterday, feeling this sustained-possibly-not-adrenaline rush. Twice.
Something is going on here …
I have unexpected high energy for these two initiatives while at the same time I’m making better progress (well, it feels like I am) on everything else on my agenda. Getting more done, more effectively and have more time/energy for my life …
Why is this happening?
No complaint. To understand this root cause, where that energy came from, how it was so easily triggered, if I know the root cause …
I’ll plant more seeds.
I want more of these roots!

morning walk: 2C/35F, nice breeze, overcast again/still, Gusta dong wind sprints with me in tow … as if she has an adrenaline rush too

MATTER MATTERS
Sorry for disappearing; but it is for a good reason. We finally got the move taken care of financially and are able to start finishing out the cabin. We have been installing interior walls; knotty pine tongue and groove boards which then need a coat of polyurethane as well as painting the mud room floors and putting up corrugated tin sheets below the windows in the mudroom. Slowly but surely making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. It truly can be done. Too tired to sit at a computer at night and can't wait to get started working in the mornings. Therefore when I do sit down at the computer I have to wade through thousands of e-mails to find the ones that mean something to me. And Facebook? "fohget about it!" Can't afford the distraction right now. Now we are having sunny, warm days and the gardens are calling my name. Nothing personal just busy, busy, busy. Healthwise, I am doing good, GW, Bon Wier, TX
