Better Thank a Cheerleader

I think for some of us, blogs are like a journal, where we can open up, gush profusely about things that please us, and whine a bit when life is handing us lemons, and we expect to be able to do both without judgement. 

And, I think for others, a blog is like ... a presentation.  A learning tool, carefully penned and crafted, and always positive. 

And, I think there's room for both kinds here on T.com.

Most of the time, we are working toward the next "high point", be it a lower pant size or faster run time.  We are continually striving for a personal best.  Which is really cool!  Think about how different we are here; so much of society is stagnant, or slipping toward a new low point, daily.  We are making progress.  We are climbing UP.

Being constantly striving, continually stepping UP, it's natural that we feel less than ecstatic during plateau's: those extended in-between times - when we aren't really going up anymore, but working just as hard, only to maintain the horizontal.   When progress is painfully stubborn, it's normal to feel gloom looming, ominous, downright FRUSTRATED. 

If I didn't have this place to come and share my frustrated, plateau-thinking, I might have nowhere to put it, I'd have nobody telling me to:

"Hang in there!",

"You'll be stepping UP again any day!",

"You can do this!" 

Without such a cheering section, ... it would be easy to see no light at the end of the tunnel and just give up. Because my T-pals shored me up a few times now, I'm still here, making progress - or at least not goiing backwards - every single day, for 87 straight days.

So, let's hear it for the T.com cheerleaders!

Gimme a 'T'...!
