Rolling along
at a heady pace
Stop
Fate intervened
X marks the spot
Stopped
Start from the stop
slow going
Inertia
Dark clouds
with every
silver lining
But I know the
lining’s out there
Obvious
Shining like
the moon
Glimmering
Picking up speed
over the humps
Smoothing out
Rolling along
building steam
Happiness
Happy

I’ve been thinking about the negative things in my life chiming up even though I know there are so many good things (more here). I realized that my current situation largely involves inertia: the resistance to changing a state of motion. I was rolling along nicely with my Ph.D. stuff, then this new job stopped my momentum. Now I’m facing inertia as I get going on my new path.
Taking this job was the right thing for me. The timing has introduced certain challenges, but I’ll build my momentum again!
