Progressive Book Club | Shaken But Not Stirred

Sometimes I get an urge to run. To flee the scenes of my life. To drop all the hats (roles) I wear by the wayside and take off in a mad sprint. But not to go anywhere in particular, just to run off some steam and the excess weight of responsibility.

I woke up this morning wanting to stay hidden under my sheets, but of course my roles quickly found me when my youngest son schmoozed me into making toast, grits and eggs for breakfast (mother), and my husband plunged me into unwanted conversation while he got dressed for work (wife) — he’s a morning talker, I so am not.

So I boo’ed and hissed and took on my roles as wife and mother while anxiously awaiting the exact moment when they all left the building for work and school, and the house fell silent. Yum. I loves me some silence.

Then I came into my home office to put on the hats awaiting me here: client emails, writing tasks, webinars, research, phone calls, online presence, building an author platform, working on manuscripts, nurturing my goals, and not to mention NOT getting to the gym this morning (which is a love/hate relationship of its own).

Needless to say, today I’m just not feeling it. I can’t work up the love for it. I’m in a “blah” funk. But wait, it gets worse. In a few short hours (because the day flies by like lightening) the kids get home from school and the fierce, drag-out, homework fights knock me out like a swift ninja kick. Blam!

Some days you just don’t want to be anything to anybody. Some days you just feel blah.

Running is not an option. Hiding never works. So I suck it up. I make do. I press on. Because the blahness passes over. And also during these times of blahness, or anger, or frustration, I remind myself of these brilliant words from T. D. Jakes: “Never make a permanent decision out of temporary circumstances.”

This, too, shall pass.

A few things I’d like to share in the form of acknowledgment and shameless plugs. Let’s start first with an acknowledgment.

Today is my anniversary. Blog anniversary, that is. Two years ago—on this very day— I catapulted myself into the blogosphere hoping to forge new territory for my writing endeavors.

And here I stand. Hurray!!!!!

However, there’s still so much more ground to cover on my writing journey, so it’s not over ‘til it’s over.

Join me in a round of applause for the 2nd Anniversary of Shaken But Not Stirred, and let’s continue to strive for NOT being stirred when we get shaken up by life.

Now on to the shameless plugs…
