Staring out my window watching the snowplows coming through, I thought how easily things can change almost overnight. Only a week ago, I had huge plans for the weekend (like finally doing my taxes) only for everything to come to a complete halt.
We really aren't in control. We want to believe we are and that no one can tell us what to do or when to do it, but that is a lie. I can't even control whether I have a peaceful morning or not.
Life throws unexpected curveballs at us like funerals, emergency appointments and unexpectedly working overtime. As much as we complain, we are very adaptable people, making necessary adjustments to fit our lifestyle.
Did this happen to you this weekend? Were your plans changed at the last minute by life's ever changing sequence of events? Are you feeling tired after what was to be a time of rest?
That is how I feel this morning.
I can understand why Monday's seem so blah. When one is particularly weary, the week may seem extremely l-o-n-g. Do we have what it takes to make it through this week? Yes, but we are not aware of it yet. Maybe by Thursday night we will feel a renewed energy to tackle the end of this week, but until then our shoulders are droopy.
Our desire to call in a sick day bursting at the seams, but we go in anyway. Our energy levels depleting, we plough through this difficult Monday workday, coffee in hand for emergency refills. Some of us even have sugar in our coffee.
Are we ready? No.
Will we make it? Yes!
Have a blessed day everyone.
