A Moment
Play the music. It will relax you while reading this post.
“Moments in Love” by The Art of Noise has always relaxed me. Earlier this year I was an avid spinner and this song was used for our mountain rides. Despite the difficulty of the ride, this song kept me relaxed and focused. Not familiar with spinning? It is indoor cycling. You control the tension on the bike and can release or tighten it to simulate the feeling of riding on different types of terrain. The entire time you control your ride, determining the amount of tension that is appropriate for you. Keeping your cadence by listening to the music and imagining the ride.
Like cycling up a mountain. By adding tension you feel the heaviness associated with riding up a mountain. Slowing increasing it until you finally feel as if you’ve reached a breaking point. At the summit the song changes and you release the tension. Success! Extremely challenging but exhilarating.
I no longer spin. I had a brief medical issue and lost my rhythm, visiting the gym was no longer a priority. The “cadence” of my life changed. I miss spinning and one may say I could start again but I haven’t found the rhythm that enables me to incorporate it into my life again.
The rhythm of the everyday is what keeps me going. How much can I squeeze in without losing something? Time with my family, time writing, visiting blogs, meeting with friends in real life and twitter, can’t forget twitter.
The rhythm.
My rhythm is off. Maybe, as a Sheena tweeted last night, “I bit off more than I can chew....” I have to get my rhythm back. I can’t lose it and still maintain all of the pieces of my life. As my friends I am asking that you bear with me. I have gotten behind. My home? A wreck. Blog visits? I really need to play catch up. My work? Don’t get me started.
I need my rhythm back.
I hope you understand that I may not get by to visit you in a timely manner. But I will get there and I will write. I will always write. I think I am experiencing growing pains.
Luckily I have “Moments of Love” to help me get my cadence back. Please be patient. I am riding at my own pace but I will reach that mountaintop.

I know you don't HAVE to drop, I know the people's tastes change, etc, but I just noticed that you hadn't.
I like your analogy about how your rhythm is off. I think I can understand that.
I do understand if you don't visit. You have to figure out how you are going to live this life. As much as we all like you, you are only obligated to you and yours. Take a break, post some re-runs, even actors get time off.
Find your rhythm and you will be stronger. Marge
Peace.
I totally feel you on getting your rhythm back. My rhythm is off too and I feel like I really need to get it back in order. I'm just taking it one step at a time. You'll get back, don't worry. I have faith in you.
By the way, Jayden said "Wazzuuup!" :-)
I need to start backing away from the blog thing too... business is picking up and it's funny that it's so hard to do! (As I type here at midnight...)
When you have time, I can't wait to tell you about my recent discovery with my search for volunteer work. I think I told you a bit, but will know more in a couple of weeks, which hopefully will be a great time for you to talk about it too. I am soooo excited.
Enjoy the ride!
:)
I think we both go head over heels passionately devoted to anything we take on. I have difficulty pulling in the reins and saying "Whoa, that's enough there, now I need to move on to this".
Walk a little bit slowly now and search for firm ground. You will reach that mountain top soon enough but now may be the time to slow down and regroup for the journey ahead. You'll probably find me there, sleeping under a tree!
Yes, life is a cycle and goes in seasons.
Remember, Renee, when I only posted once a month this summer, needing the time to just breathe and soak in the sunshine.
And you still faithfully supported me and visited.
Sometimes we just need time.
To get our rhythm back.
Well said.

2nd, I hope your rhythm find it's way home. :)
Rhythm...lost mine years ago...lol.
do what you need to do for you.
