Why is The Tipping Point not active

Over there to the left – nothing has qualified for The Tipping Point since July? I can’t believe that. Surely I have encountered such moments since then; have I not noticed them? Is it because I have moved on to the The Straw that Broke the Cow’s Back moments? Funny . . .  I have felt rather low to the floor with arms and legs splayed out lately.

Or perhaps they come so frequently that they blend together into my new normal. Sort of like the theory in Awakenings that the patients are twitching so fast they are paralyzed. Well, now I’ve done it – gone from a little fanciful thinking into a topic that confounds me. What happened in the brain to these people? What happened that it was reversible for a short period of time? Actually, it is scary. So much unknown right inside us; so many little switches  . . .

And, of course, probably my first awareness of this – when I realized that some other little girls didn’t have to work to be nice . . . that it was easy for them. That they probably thought my pouting and snits were something I chose. No, they just flowed out of me so naturally. Some times I wonder what it would be like to be good-natured. I’m wondering now . . . and not getting anywhere.

What a way to start my day – maybe this just tipped the scales to send me back to bed.

  1. I get that “blending” thing many times. I am still confused as to what day of the week it is, and I bawk as to which month it is!
