One of Those Days

I'm having one of those days. You know the kind--where you can think of about eight things you'd like to do, but when it comes right down to it, you end up doing nothing.

So here's what I could have done today, if I'd summoned up sufficient willpower:

• Taken a walk in the absolutely perfect weather.
• Written at least one of several letters I want to write.
• Call someone to catch up on their life happenings.
• Read something for fun.
• Worked on taxes.
• Had a meaningful conversation.
• Played the harp.
• Petted the cat.

I actually started to do the last two things, but the cat left before I was quite ready for her to, and the harp was not as satisfying as I wanted it to be. So now, I'm back where I started. What to do with myself and the unexpected bit of leisure time.

What I'm tempted to do:

• Complain to anyone that will listen (which is, I suppose, what this blog is really all about)
• Whine (which I am doing).
• Eat something. (Waiting for the apple pie to come out of the oven).
• Go to bed (but it's only 5:42).

What I will do:

• Count my blessings (which should take me at least until the pie comes out of the oven).
• Eat my pie while I read something fun.
• Find the cat and pet her until she leaves again.
• Encourage myself in the Lord by remembering how lovely and faithful He is.
• Look forward to tomorrow and maybe a more brilliant blog entry next time!
