To ebb and flow

We cannot seem to define one set of attributes unless they are contrasted to another. Day is nothing without night. Happiness is nothing with sadness. Highs aren't visible without Lows.

So I guess it comes as no surprise the ebb and flow of work energy. There are days where I'll do everything to avoid working on projects. It's almost a depressed state of not wanting to do anything or sometimes just not accomplishing anything even if the hours are put in. Other days it's like I'm in a super-drive mode. Code flows from the fingers like water from a faucet.

Is this all part of the process of understanding ourselves or simply the realization of life (which we've ignored)? Hard to say.

I think the thing to take away from all this is to realize that during the ebbs, they're cyclical and will turn upwards again. During the flows, we should embrace them for we don't know how long they'll be here.

Perhaps over time, the ups and downs become less extreme, hopefully with a slant more towards an upward slope.
