Sharing My Blahness……

I promise I haven’t forgotten about my blog. I’ve just been in a blah mood lately, and haven’t felt very motivated to write anything. I guess I could have left you with something a little more uplifting than the last entry about the Congo. Oh, well. So, why am I just blah? No idea. I think it’s a combination of things. Possibilities:

1. Time change. I hate it when it’s getting dark at 4:30.

2. No exercise. Totally off track with exercise/eating right. But, I went to the “Y” for the first time in 3 months today. My goal is to lose 5 lbs by Christmas and to be exercising regularly.

3. Isolation. It seems that I go through cycles of feeling really connected to the community around me and not feeling connected. Right now, not so connected. It takes energy to stay connected with people, and I think my energy level was just being sapped during the 2 months of Jared working 2 jobs and going to school.

4. Loose ends. Things hanging over my head that need to be done. Find insurance for our family, write my part in a support letter, work through a conflict with someone who may not even know it exists.

5. Spiritually dry. No desire to read my bible. Zoning off during church (sorry, Pastor Sean, it’s not you!) I know this will pass, too. I just hate when it happens.

So, hopefully within this next week, I’ll have something better to blog about. I’m going on a walk today with the boys and will be taking my camera so that I can try to get some pictures of them in all these leaves. It’s been a tradition since Shea was born, and if I don’t hurry, I’m going to miss it this year.
