Deep Thought Thunday
“Alliterative Jenny” took down “Sensible Jenny” when they went toe-to-toe over THAT title. That “Alliterative Jenny” sure can be a Pushy Pusherson…
Anywho… I went for a run early this morning and got to be alone with myselveS. We always get some good one-on-one-on-one-one-one-on…. time in when We run “alone”. It was toward the end of my run, say, mile 5.5, that a long downhill sent me all-giddy with how good it felt to conquer a long uphill. It felt good to conquer that hill, and to be greeted with a moderate downhill. Being the thinker that I am, I thought to MyselveS:
The downhill is so much sweeter after a hard-earned uphill!
Then We thought,
That’s good stuff. We need to share that with Our public, Jenny…
So, Blogger Jenny has taken the reigns and is sharing it. What do you think? You don’t have to go for a run to appreciate this concept… Don’t you think the wonderful times of life are supremely more sweet when you have something un-sweet to compare it to? What if life was flat? I’m pretty sure we’re happy the world is not flat. But I digress. I mean really, how do we really “know” sweet in the absence sour? How do we “know” loud without soft… Dark without light… Love without hate… Chip without Dale… err… Chocolate without not-chocolate?
I certainly don’t welcome the “uphill” times of life with open arms, mostly because I am not a big fan of work or effort. You know, “uphill battles” — they can be hard, painful, and often require a lot of work. However, when those times end (and they always do)… the prize of the “downhill” comes. The fruit of one’s labor, and how sweet that fruit can be…
I dunno. Maybe I need to not spend so much time with myselveS.

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…

Very deep…
There are moments in random days when I am suddenly struck with the thought, “Wow! I am totally flippin’ happy RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE,” and nothing really triggered that thought, it just happens, so I stop then and really absorb what I’m happy about. Now, today, I’ll admit, it’s not one of those days. Maybe today is my uphill. Anyway, what I’m saying is, I think I get it!
Deep Jenny!! I think I like your alone thoughts!! You are one okay person to hang out with yourself!!
Totally get fadkog’s comment – that was my very blog posting one day, when everything clicks together like a spirograph, if only for a moment!!
And yes I think the downhill is made sweet because of the conquering of the uphill!!
Thomebody’s been thinking and thinking and thinking . . .
No, the uphill is never pleasant. But, oh, the view coming downhill? Breathtaking!
I feel like right now is uphill for me. Not that I’m unhappy, because I really am happy right now. But just struggling, struggling, struggling. I’m ready to be able to just stop for a minute. A minute. All I ask. Right now anyway
SO SO SO true. I have always said, we have to survive the crap to enjoy the party – haha.
Oh … we’re getting ready for the next radio show on Wednesday and we’re talking about Holiday Traditions. Let us know what YOURS is and we’ll talk about you and start rumors on the radio so more people will want to get in on your craziness.
I’m heading uphill with D… right now. Actually, because of a series of events, it’s been uphill for me the past few years. Boy, that downhill is gonna be SA-WEEET!
