The Rut

We have all had those episodes or long periods of time we have felt we were stuck in a rut. Some ruts seem to be not so long lived and some seem to very long lived. Well, friends in my observation of the ruts of life I have found there are irritating, life threatening, boredom, psychotic, dramatic, stupidity, self-inflicted, discouraging, tormenting, crazy, and so on. I could go on and on trying to put a general cliche to the ideal of a rut, but let's face it we can't. I really want to share my experiences of my personal ruts that I have found not only to be bad ruts but good ones as well. I know, I know the previous sentence sounds like an oxymoron. However, I feel that I personally have been from one rut to the next. I would like some advice and love to hear about your ruts of life. Reaching out for encouragement I believe is a choice that is up to self so, here I am trying to entertain the idea of encouraging myself. I would love to hear your thoughts and stories...
