Well, it happened to me today. First time in a very long time. I am a bit stunned. I am in a state of disbelief. It has shaken me.

I don’t know what to write about.

This doesn’t really happen. For years I’ve been doing this blog and every Monday morning I sit down and think to myself “What should I write about today?” and it just flows. I never put ideas in a folder for future use. I never plan it out days or weeks in advance. I just write it.

The last time this happened was in the first year of the blog so I just wrote a Bill Plasche style with random thoughts. (If you aren’t familiar with Bill Plasche, he’s a sports writer for the LA Times that sometimes devotes his column to random sports thoughts. Well, he used to, I haven’t read the Times for close to 10 years, but I digress…)

So what do we do when life, or recovery, stagnates? We go back to basics. Review the steps. Work the steps. The steps are what got us here and they are what will help us…

–Rise Up!!
