Running downhill in an uphill battle?

Wow! I let the front page go blank again. I could change the configuration so something always stayed up but that emptiness reminds me that I need to pause and dump my brain.

The other day I had a shoving match with a friend, all in good fun, and as I began to lose my momentum, it occurred to me: This is my life. I push hard to keep everything from piling up and sometimes I get distracted and lose my momentum. Everything I've been pushing ahead of me starts to shove me backwards, faster and faster.

That is what is happening now so I don't have time to write here. I've got to keep on pushing until I hit a resting place again. I only fall on my ass when I'm shoving friends around, not when I'm pushing back at life.

P.S. The missing exchange student in Brazil headline caught my eye this morning. No worries though. It's not our Eva. She is safe and sound and learning to live without American chocolate.
