Why do we get the blahs? You know, just feeling down, for no reason that you can point at? Is it because we don't get enough sleep, or because our sleep is interrupted at the wrong time? Is there really a wrong side of the bed? Is it Satan attacking, trying to make us ineffective? Is it finally being annoyed with someone or with circumstances to the point where it effects your entire mood? I don't know what it is, but today, for no specific reason, I feel blah! Jeremiah's been at school today, so I've had the day to myself and have accomplished pretty close to nothing. Been in the house the whole time too. No really important errands to run, no great project to plan (although I do have some work I should be doing, but I'm not really in the mood). And no matter how I try and I can't seem to make myself "snap" out of it. Does this only happen to me?
There are several blogs I read regularly where people pose questions like that and invite responses? I like the discussion. So I'm trying it? Let me know what you think? Do you have a trick to snap out of it, to change the direction of your mind/feelings, etc.? I'll take any help I can get. :)
This is a great place to come if you want to see pictures of the 2 cutest boys in the world: Samuel and Jeremiah Park and keep up with what's going on with our family.

I think it's good to have the blahs now and again. A time to rest, take it easy and stop the busyness of our lives. We in America think we have to be accomplishing something each and every day. And feel useless when we don't. So enjoy your blah days and tomorrow you'll wake up blahless (hopefully). Now did I just say 'anything' or just take up lines of type on this comment?? love you bunches no matter how blagly you are:-)

Yup, I get the blahs. Usually on those days I look back and see that the only thing I've accomplished is taking a lot, hot bath or shower at some point (for some reason those call me on blah days).
The only thing that has snapped me out of it is suddenly finding out I will have company over that night... then I know I have to pick up the place and get food ready whether I feel like it or not. I guess that means a deadline motivates me enough to get out of it.
So, next time you feel that way my suggestion for a cure is inviting me over for dinner. ;)
I've been trying to think of something witty and insightful to say that would automatically snap you out of your blah days, but I've got nothin'. I think part of my problem is that I kind of like blah days. So I generally don't do much to snap out of them if I don't have to. I just enjoy being lazy when I have the opportunity. : ) Either that or I use it as a good reason to spend some one on one time with God, seeing as he's my only companion on those days. So, there you go. Nothing useful whatsoever.
Love you!
