reflective action

Feeling better, but not totally there yet. I suppose this is always a process, isn't it? At least I'm at the point where I know things are going to get better.

A friend and I were talking tonight briefly about the problem of over-reflection, over-analysis--sometimes you just have to act or believe or take a leap. I think this is true, though I think there can be a danger in action/belief without reflection, too. I imagine it's best to have some kind of balance, where there's always an interplay between reflection and action, where you're essentially always doing both. Reflective action and active reflection.

The danger of keeping a blog like this is that it might keep me in my own head a bit too much, which can sometimes lead to a disconnection from the people and things around me.

There is, right now, a sort of film of bittersweet covering my life, the kind of feeling you get when you know something is ending but something else is beginning--you're wistful for the past while being excited for the possibilities that lie ahead.
