hiatus

I have had a really difficult time getting myself into the headspace to blog lately.  I’ve been in these funks before, when I just need a break from technology, and in some ways, that has been true of this past one.

But I also think that things have just been moving at such a break-neck speed lately that I really don’t have the mental energy to sit down, stop, and reflect.  I just keep doing…. and then zoning out… and then doing some more.  Self-care lately has been more about stopping than processing.

The disciples were shaken out of their stupor by the amazing announcement on that Easter morning.  Their work wasn’t complete… their lives were not over… they need not be afraid… Their hopes were resurrected, their engagement was reignited.

My prayer is that the spark might blaze again for me.  That my spirit will be reignited.  That I can lay aside those burdens that keep me huddled under blankets and that with the daffodils and the lilies and the tulips I can throw off the cold and say – here I am.  I’m ready.  Nothing can hold me back.  Try and stop me.
