In the Middle

Why do I rarely finish projects?  I love to start them and feel so gratified when I finish them but for some reason I consistently find myself caught in the middle.  Maybe this is why I love doing plays.  You can't stay in the middle very long.  You have to look towards the end because like it or not, the days will pass and the show will open and then the show will close.  A perfect beginning, middle and end.  I often find that I can't wait for things to be over and yet it doesn't seem to motivate me to NOT get stuck in the middle.  Even in the little things - I am in the middle of a long week. I have survived so far and am feeling good.  I was happy at work today - genuinely happy for the first time in a while.  It was so refreshing and yet I don't know what tomorrow will bring.  I might be tired and cranky all over again.  I guess what I like about the middle is the element of surprise.  You know what you've done so far but have no idea of what is to come next.  This is not the week to focus on finishing the "unfinished," nor is it a week to bemoan the fact that I work too much and never have time for myself.  In this "middle"I will rejoice in the fact that I still have three more days of craziness before I move on to the next thing.  Beginning and ending is the fun and exciting part but what happens in the middle is what makes our lives interesting.
