This is a very difficult summer. Am I repeating myself? Should I stop now? It is so true though. No two days are the same. It’s rare to have a stretch of nice steady weather. After a couple hot scorching days, today the sky is grey and heavy. I am waiting for the clouds to drop their load. I am heavy and slow with their weight. It is hard to move and feel upbeat. I am working hard to string the words together for a post for day 10 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge.
I wonder how everyone else is feeling and doing. Does anyone else feel that this is a very strange year? The world seemed to have changed overnight. It does not feel safe or sane. I don’t know what or how to do. I just carry on as best as I know how. I hope I am not just going with the flow but making some difference for the better, no matter how small. It is easy to be complacent, not give a damn. But we really should give a damn.
That’s a good reason to keep showing up and tapping out the words. Many times it is just to make myself feel better. Some times I do glean some wisdom for my efforts. It makes me happy then. Right now I am just talking, trying to ease myself out of this heaviness. I feel like a ton of bricks, like a pregnant elephant. I hope I don’t look like I feel. I changed into an oversized black top just to be sure. We’re going out for supper.
I totally relate to what you are saying and we all need to do our part – however large or small – to make a difference. Basically, we all need to start giving a damn!
Lily, I hope your supper was nice and you enjoyed a lovely night out.
I’m glad you show up every day for your blog, your plants and sometimes for your gym, even though it feels heavy.
I have a lot of purging projects that I am procrastinating on because I can’t get myself to get started. Ugh.
Yes! I feel it too! This year there has been a shift. I’ve assumed that it’s because of the shift in what’s happening in the world, particularly North America, but maybe its more than that. During times like this I tend to operate on auto pilot – put one foot in front of the other, and as my mother would say, just get on with it.
