Fresh start

The last few months have been difficult. Almost an apathy and lethargy hanging around. I found it limited my creativity and created this deep introspection into what my life is about and why I do what I do. 

I can't say I've sorted it yet but I made a decision and I've started today. 

Instead of sleeping in and just doing what I feel like doing (which is sleeping or at least putting my head down somewhere, anywhere!) I was up at 6:30 and ticking off the dot points on my list. 

Today's word was 

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ (Mark 12:30 NIV)

Clearly echoing Richard's message last night, it has set the tone for the day. Reading over notes I made, the phrase, Above all, love one another, keeps staring out at me. 

I don't know about you but I love receiving messages of encouragement- especially unexpected nuggets of love that keep you going when the going gets tough. 

A whole bunch of text messages & prayers later (for people who popped into mind), a load of washing done and drying as we speak, a 30 minute session of Pilates (I love YouTube) and I feel good. 

Except for that slight inability to focus which overhangs and threatens the start of that downward spiralling need for a nap. 

Well I'm fighting it. It's time to stand up and keep at it. I keep looking over at my favourite couch and even going to my room to grab something leaves me wistfully glancing at my bed. 

Just 15 minutes is what my head says. I can't give in now. So what you say? 15 minutes isn't that bad. 

Well, 15 minutes won't be enough. It never is. 

And onwards we go.
