The title of today's post says it all. Progress is very often about taking two steps forward and one step back and what matters is the cumulative momentum. At times over the last few months it has felt more like one step forward and two steps back, but that has swung around in more recent times. However, the last 48 hours has seen some regression, but I feel emotionally a bit better equipped than I have been in recent times.

I see this evidenced in that I have returned to a project that I was working on that has long remained dormant and in doing so it has given me a focus beyond myself.

One of the problems with self-focus when you are struggling is that it can soon become a spiral and there can be loss of control. Looking outward instead of inward is the most obvious cure, even if it is not so easy to implement or follow.

Especially if those dastardly feelings get in the way.

So, while I continue to struggle - and believe me I do - an outside interest is helping. I am sorry if this sounds self-indulgent but I can only be honest about where I am.

As always stay safe and well my friends.
