Don't know why I changed it - I wanted a more visual image of a starting point of a journey I guess. Thanks for your comment. Getting back to basics was the original title of the post, JD.

It can be tough to drop the baggage, but it's important to take a look at where you, right now, and where you would like to be, and find a way to bridge the gap ... a chunk at a time.

We pay the bills so that we can focus on the larger picture, the more important things. It's the survival dance vs the sacred dance analogy that I love so much. Pausing to reflect as you suggest is useful, and griping isn't. The line is thin, yet we know the difference because of the effects - a negative downward spiral or a restored faith and hope in what we do. Thanks for this comment and great perspective. Hi Chris,
