ups and downs

There's a line from a book I read long ago echoing in my head.

I can see that you do have your h'ups and downs Gladys!

See, I'm a person who usually claims to the outside world that I want to ride the merry go round of life, yet I constantly find myself on the rollercoaster. I must like it there or I'd get off the next time the ride got into the station and go find the much safer (and less exciting) horses going forever in circles. Like the aforementioned Gladys, I revel in the excitement of the complicated life. That being said, Gladys is never quite as excited about being a direct participant. Much happier in the role of observer. OK, I'm more like Jack than Gladys...but I'm digressing and becoming even more vague to anyone reading but my future self. I'm not ready to blog about all this right now.

For now, I'm going to go for a walk in the rain and see if that'll wash away some of this evening's troubles, but before I go:

1. I appreciate in advance any concern. Posts like the above often garner a few emails from my nearest and dearest, but I'm fine - really - just on a bumpy bit of the ride is all and feeling dramatic about it.

2. Bonus points to anyone who can source my quote up above.
