The Blogging Blues???

I keep thinking about how long it has been since I posted here, and how infrequent my postings have been, but every time I sit down to write a post...nothing. All I can think is, "things are just so uninteresting right now -- unpacking...still, taking down Christmas decorations, still getting settled...". I thought about writing a New Year's post -- that was something I did last year -- reflecting on the previous year, and looking forward to the new. But, I think my brain has turned to mush from all of the mundane tasks I've been doing lately. I'm thinking maybe I need to build some time into my days here and there to seek out some inspiration, and let creative juices flow. Problem is -- I'm such a pragmatist -- I have a hard time relaxing and taking "down time" when there are things all around me that need doing. Don't get me wrong, I'm still quite capable of wasting time. That's entirely different from taking intentional "down time" that is used for some purpose. Phases of being busy with the mundane come and go in life. Sometimes, it's just where we're at and what we have to do. But, I'm convinced that these phases don't have to be coupled with a sense of "blah". So, I'm just praying that the Lord will do a work in my heart that changes the way I spend my time -- less wasted down time, and more intentional, useful down time. Less "blah", and more opportunity to enjoy the little beautiful aspects of life -- and write about it on my blog. :)
