Work has been so busy as of late (not in a bad way, just in a busy way), so today my friend Bryan and I went for a little stroll through the church's parking lot and ended up standing at the top of a huge mound of dirt that was being moved to put in more parking and an exit road. Standing there, looking at the big yellow construction vehicles hard at work we caught up on all that had been taking place in our lives as of late (most of which were what was going on at work) and we talked about what we do when we're exhausted. We both agreed that when we're tired we end up just shutting down, but the funny thing was that we both had different definitions of what it meant for us to shut down.
When I shut down I don't want to do anything that requires any kind of thought. No reading, no writing, no phone calls, nothing. I just want to sit on my couch and watch reruns. That's not how Bryan does it, he said that when he's exhausted he reads a bunch, plays guitar and writes all sorts of things.
So maybe I'm missing out. I wonder what would happen if I started trying to use my brain when I was tired. Maybe I would feel more refreshed or renewed or something. I'm going to try and do things that require some thought when I'm tired and see what happens.
How easily I forget about my blog?
I know that you are probably one of the few who are stopping by on a daily basis to see if there is anything new happening in my life. The funny thing is there's so much that goes on in a normal week that I forget to update, or I just don't feel like I can muster the mental strength to get it done. It got me thinking about busyness.
It seems that people either can't motivate themselves to do a darn thing or they can't stop doing stuff. I think that I find myself firmly in both camps. There are days that there is so much going on that I don't even have time to check your blog, and then there are days when all I do is waste time, not really accomplishing much of anything.
I wonder how I find balance? Is it even possible to live a balanced life, or maybe the better question is, do I have some sort of false view of what I think balance is.
All this to say, I think I'm going to always be a failure at posting on this blog, and all I can say to you is that I will try and be a little less of a failure.
Have a great day, hope to see you soon.
