“Bleh” Is how I’m feeling at the moment. Why, I don’t know.
It’s a beautiful day. Sunday service was great. Choir sounded “powerful”, which is exactly what we’ve been working on. Had a really fun lunch with dear friends. About to spend the evening hanging out with my sweet hubby.
So why “bleh”?
I guess maybe I’m just a little tired. Which is part of why I’m once again writing earlier in the day, in the hopes of getting to bed earlier as well. Hasn’t worked yet, but hope springs eternal! 😀
We are so goal oriented. I find the blehs get me the most when I don’t have something that needs to be done, so that I can then do it and feel a sense of accomplishment, of having made a difference. Luckily, the farm has many things that need to be done, none of them urgent, but all of them fun and engaging and giving me that sense of contributing to something bigger than myself.
After the extended goal-orientation of the 50th, perhaps day-to-day life is now lower in that sense of purpose that lifts our hearts.
Interesting perspective, Manisha! I realize I got a little burnt out after being in extended-accomplishment mode, but now I need to get back into the saddle, regardless of whether I feel entirely ready…or not! Thanks for sharing and giving me something to think about. <3
What helps me (when I can remember, that is), is to ask myself, “Can I do ‘bleh’ with God? Even if I can’t feel His/Her presence, can I invite Him/Her in, even amidst the doldrums?”
Thanks so much for these daily posts. Reading them serves as a time for me to pause, reflect, and take a “gratitude and remembrance” break.
Thanks for the reminder that I can do “bleh” with God, Sajani! 🙂
