Off

Some days the lights are just … off.  Some days the words don’t come, the solutions aren’t there, the motivation wanes, the writing to be read, blurs. 

The day in, day out of producing, solving, achieving, is unrealistic.

At some of the lowest points, of a day, of a year, of a career, that’s when it is helpful to do one thing that makes you proud.

It can be a little thing – filing a few papers, tweaking a spreadsheet, creating a drawing, folding the laundry.  Doing one thing that makes you proud, can be the one thing that maintains self-worth.
