In Between Days

I find myself vacillating between extremes. I am either stressed beyond belief or bored out of my mind. I struggle to find a happy middle ground. 

Perhaps some of this is due to the unpredictable nature of running a small business. Things will be relatively calm and stable and then... BAM! Water damage and flooding from a leak. Business as usual and steady Freddy and then... BAM!  Staff changes and a mad rush to find replacements. 

I have been trying to make a concerted effort to find peace and joy in all the in between days both at work as well as in my personal life. To be content with all the uneventful, mundane days that are drama and conflict free. 

Instead of viewing my quiet days as boring, I am trying to appreciate them as moments to rest and recharge. And viewing those punctuated times of trials and stress as opportunities to grow and evolve. 

Life is what happens in all the in between days.
