Nothing remains dormant for long - or at least longer than we want it to. Once we realize that we have stagnated, the change is not only inevitable, but welcomed.

I love reading your blog because you always leave me dizzy with all you are doing. In my humble opinion, summer for students is a time to veg out, rest up, get in touch with your inner-self, and get good and ready for the explosion of activity that is inevitable in the fall. You should be enjoying this -- not beating yourself up over it! One of the joys of being older is the acceptance of self that seems to only come after years of watching life's odd twists and turns and realizing that you weren't every really in charge of anything anyway and that it's best to sit back; enjoy the show; and not worry too much. It's amazing how much perspective it gives you. After a lifetime of dotting i's and crossing t's obsessively, I woke up one morning and just decided it was all a crap shoot and I was just going to be happy no matter what happened. I've never looked back. I wish you could find that same release. You’ve got to be kidding! I love reading your blog because you always leave me dizzy with all you are doing.
