You’re welcome! And yes, sometimes a trip down Memory Lane is just the thing.

Thanks, babe! I really needed this today. I guess I should go back in my archives and read those old entries to remind myself how much easier things are now.

Blogrdoc - You will think this is weird, but that is so hot. Seriously.

Mary Ellen - Haha! How right you are! I should print out multiple copies and plaster them around my apartment. And that is one great quote. Someone want to needlepoint-sampler that up for me? :-)

Miss Syl - Wow, thanks! I take no credit. Or not much, anyway. I’m just the mixmaster. Er…mixmistress.

This was perfectly articulated. So true. I was just discussing this same topic with someone the other night; but you said it so much better than I did. I wish everyone could read it. Thank you.

I’m excited for you! This post needs to be posted somewhere visible and in large format because when the funk moves in you’ll swear this was all a mirage. My therapist used to say, “The funk is real…but it’s not MORE real.” This is the delicious good stuff and I’m happy you’re in it. It reminds me of those nature shows where they speed up the film to show the sprout, the leaves, the bud, the bloom. Incremental changes are occurring all the time, as you say. I’m hearing your reminder that we often don’t see these incremental changes and so hope finds its place. How generous of you to share this as a way to champion the changes happening for the rest of us.

FYI the graph is a plot of y=exp(x) (also called an ‘exponential’ function)

For example, go to http://www.coolmath.com/graphit/

type in “exp(x)” or “10^x” in the textbox and hit ‘enter’

the exact same shape will show up on the graph

this, by way, is an exponential function y=exp(x)

blogrdoc - Part of it is definitely planting seeds. But the other part is that if you zoom in on the diagram, what looks insignificant is bigger, it’s just starting from so far “down” it may not seem that way.

And to be 100% straight, it’s not my diagram, I’m sure: I’ve seen it drawn many times by other people. I wonder who the very first person to draw it was. Maybe someone stopping by will know?

Or maybe I could get off my lazy ass and google it?

Mahala & Madge - Thank you! And you’re welcome!

David - True on momentum. Hell, that’s probably where the diagram originates: physics!
