The Groundhog Effect

It's no secret that one of my favorite movies is Groundhog Day.  It seems to speak to many people on many different levels.  For those of you who are not familiar with the movie, the main plot device is a loop in time in which the main character is reliving the same day over and over again.  As in the movie, I tend to believe that we have all been struggling find the elusive perfection within any given day.  If time were not an issue, what could you accomplish?

In my own life, I am experiencing one of those cycles when I am compelled to bring things back in to balance by rediscovering a musical instrument or catching up on literature or finding new ways to contribute to the local community.  For lack of a better term, I'll refer to this cycle as the Groundhog Effect.


Time may not be recursive in the real world, but that doesn't prevent you from accomplishing things that matter.  Thanks to the Groundhog Effect, I've rediscovered my ukulele along with  some of my old literary classics.  I'm also working on getting back into various community service activities.  I realize that you can't rescue everyone, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to give it a try.

See ya.
