Is This Really Me?!
Monday, April 5th, 2010The ‘blogees’ have spoken and I am so grateful. The most comments on my humble blog ever! Thanks for your help. You want humanness? I got humanness! Today it comes in the form of sloth.
I had a SAD
day today on a sunny day! That does not usually happen. Sun and I are very simpatico and our moods align like BFF’s yielding productive, gratitude-filled days. NOT TODAY. Today, I found my face in my pillow three times. Three naps in one day! Unheard of. And despite sleep, my usual elixir of clarity and energy, I got foggier with each round.
For a few hours, I thought I was ‘going down’ as we call it in my house when someone is heading towards a debilitating flu. But no, I rebounded. A friend had had a small heart attack over the weekend and I could not help thinking that my symptoms were echoing hers. I questioned whether I was avoiding working on my book by developing a case of slothhood today. None of it stuck as a real reason.
So, I surrender. This gets to be ‘me’ today. Not my best. Not my worst. Not who I want to be, but it’s what I’ve got today. Now, I just wish for bedtime. Easy, you’d think. The trick is getting three kids to bed so I can too!



I am having blogsgivings. Kind of like misgivings except it’s about my blog. When people ask me if I blog or if I’m a blogger, the answer is “not exactly”. Yes, I have a blog, but to me a blogger has a clear theme, message or story and they post about it regularly. I don’t post regularly, as you well know, and where this blog started out with the theme of ‘what makes a meaningful life’, it feels rather directionless at the moment.
