It is then, on those days like the floor feels like it's dropped out from below me, that - more than ever - I need to remember these wise words from a long-forgotten source:
"Sometimes it may seem as if you're going backward, but truly,
if you look at a spiral,
it goes up, back, and around; reaching upward,
although it may seem for a time that you are not.
You are indeed progressing.
Trust the Mystery and keep going!"

I like this! I'll have to remember this when I take 2 steps back.

Are you sure you didn't write this just for me today? My thought for the day is that if I keep on taking one step forward and three steps backward, I should probably just turn around and walk backwards. It would be faster, albeit clumsier.
I call it "falling uphill". It's ugly- but it's still progress.
I think the backward/forward notion is such a fallacy. There's all kinds of progress that isn't measured by motion. Sometimes it's just a bright thought or hope or happiness.... or in your case - sass!
Ahh luuurve you...
Countess NNG: It's the Metaphysical Tango!
Countess Ti: September seems to bring about a certain wistfulness for progress, I think.
Countess D: I agree. And sometimes forward motion is not visible to the eye, but is recognized in the heart.

Ahhhh, so true.
I needed this today, actually. My sassy's MIA. Hope you rediscover yours soon.
