The Pause Button

There are times that I feel like my life is in pause mode. Things are static and I am waiting for the play button to be hit again and life moves forward for good or ill.

There is the project pause button where we are waiting to see if something that is started and stalled out will start up again or if we have to hit the big ol’ reset button and try again. We have a couple of those going on.

There is the puppet pause button that happens after I finish a puppet and before it serves its purpose. That can be long or short depending on the puppet and how long it takes for it to get to that place where it is suppose to be. I am waiting to see if I can post Tuesday about my latest work.

There is the writing pause button when I write but I don’t like what I am writing. Best thing for me to do is step away until I have figured out where I am going with a piece and then pick it up again. I do put on time limitations to this so I don’t stop writing.

There is the house pause button where we need something, like a grocery run or laundry, and the rest of the week can’t really be planned out until the task is done.

There is the exercise pause button that I really try to avoid but when I am sicker than sick, not a good time to go lift weights. Also when body parts are not up to snuff, I have to figure out something else I can do to exercise a group of muscles without further injuring whatever.

Right now I need to tap some of those back to play and hope that some other people do the same real soon now.

I am grateful for the play button.
