- "a type of small boat, powered by the occupant or occupants using a double-bladed paddle in a sitting position; to use a kayak, to travel or race in a kayak; to traverse a body of water by kayak."
So how can can we define an "emotion kayak"? Well, here are a few that popped right into my head.
Menopause - That's certainly an emotional kayak that you hope gets upright easily. Moving through the hot and cold temperatures in your body, dealing with the raging hormones and carrying yourself in a dignified manner though the whole process
Marriage - When the ups and downs of marriage are certainly an one. The issues here are almost too many to list - money, kids, toothpaste spits in the sink (oops, did I mention that?) But they all have there own emotional paddling that needs to be done.
Children - From birth until you send them off to college and even until they have children of their own, there is a ton of emotion kayaks going on with them. Watching them learn to walk and not running to catch them when they fall all the way to letting them actually drive a car....it never ends.
And who doesn't think of kayaking without thinking about furious paddling? Often upstream, right? Money issues, changing jobs, deciding to have children - all are decisions we make (or are forced to make) while furiously paddling upstream.
Life really is a series of "emotion Kayaks". Learning how to navigate with them is a worthwhile struggle.
P.S. Here is the inspiration.....
