Somewhere in between…perfection and awful. I have heard that the holiday week between Christmas and New Years Day is a weird time. Not working. Not really fully off (if you have kids). Not totally “on vacation” (and staying on top of the hundreds of e-mails so you don’t have too many when you return.)

It doesn’t have to be the far extremes, but sometimes you just hover on one side or the other:

Tired and well-rested.

Day and night.

Starving and too full.

Delirious and depressed.

Bored and too busy.

Movies and sports.

Excited and frustrated.

Freezing and melting.

Reading and audio book.

Going with the flow and annoyed at everything.

So, sure, somewhere in between is the perfect situation. That said, we are not always centered right in the middle. It is okay to be in the swing, modulating back and forth from one side to another – even if you don’t get all the way to the edges. It is not easy to be on the extremes. If you find yourself there, fortunately you don’t typically hang in those areas for long. Good thing life has it’s ebbs and flows and we can float around in between.
