Just a little off

Do you ever have those days where you just feel a little off, where the day just doesn't go quite the way you wanted it to or maybe it was one of those "blah" days where nothing really good or bad happened? Today was one of those days for me, I had a packed weekend and then woke up on the Monday of a three day weekend, two hours before heading into work and then from there my day was just kind of got sucked up. (the hours from 9 to 2AM seem to get away from me every night) I don't know why "blah" days bring up an array of odd feelings or what even sparks them, but they definitely exist and they are definitely normal. I think that that part of the problem with these nonchalant days is that we find our value in what tasks we complete or how full or fun our day was. It is normal to have these feelings and I think that they are a result of overworking.

I used to drive a four cylinder hunting jeep and it was great for dirt roads and it could not be beat crawling around rocks, but when I hopped on the highway and needed to pass someone or gun it to get onto the freeway it topped out at about 60 and that little engine would scream for fresh air until I downshifted and reached a comfortable cruising speed. Blah days are the downshift period. We spend so much of our lives speeding to get where we need to go that when we finally downshift and our speed begins to level out, we feel uncomfortable because our pistons aren't pumping quite so hectically.

I don't know where you are, if you're at a place where you look at the road ahead and say wow, I'm about to dive into chaos or maybe you're at a place where all of the sudden you have a significant amount of time on your hands, maybe you just got out of a relationship with a long time girlfriend and now you feel weird because all of the time and energy that was directed there has no where to go. Maybe you just graduated and being in the real world all of your best friends are not around and your bed time has been bumped back from 2AM to 10PM. I don't know, but whatever it is, God cares about you and wants you to live fully and desperately wants you to know that you aren't in this thing alone. Life is beautiful and it is meant to be lived, so wherever you are, be grateful and through the good and bad, praise God, because he has always loved you and always will. Live the dream. My roommates just told me to stop blogging and start living, so I guess I need to get to it...
