Blog Fog

If you live in my town you would have experienced some pretty intense fog a couple of times this past week. My view of buildings were blocked by fog all around.  You know the places you normally pass are still there but you just can't see it.  I have realized there has been a little Blog Fog on Looking for Yonder. I have still being journeying to yonder (and mentally writing about it) but you just haven't heard about it because I have been hidden in a fog of busyness. I don't like that word "busy".  People ask me how I am and these days most often I say "busy".  It is true but somehow it seems like an excuse.  Somehow being busy just doesn't seem "right".  But the truth is, there is a lot I have been trying to do or keep up with. Life has been busy. And after a week or two of neglecting my blog, I totally got out of the habit.  Really not that big of loss for the rest of the world, but I do find it helpful in processing life.  So I have been aspiring to bust through the fog.

Recently in my pursuit to not have "being busy" consume my life and drain it of joy and meaning I made a decision to make Sunday's sacred or at least a little more "set apart".  Not really a new idea, I know.  God came up with the idea of a Sabbath (a rest) a long time ago. One of the components to my making Sunday set apart is not to have a written or even mental  "To Do" list on Sundays.  Wow, I have discovered that I am pretty controlled by having a "To Do" list!  Now I can't put writing on my blog on the Sunday "To Do" list because there is no Sunday "To Do" list.  However it is on my mental list of Sunday favorable options. Last week was my first week of this new Sunday endeavor and it was semi- successful.  This week I guess God felt like I might need a little more help.  I have finally admitted that I most likely have a sinus infection. Thus I have allowed myself a low profile today which has involved a lot of couch time.  Even in feeling yucky, I am realizing that I do not find "resting" a very easy or "guilt free" experience.   However since I am trying to stay on the couch, coming out of the Blog Fog seemed like a good option for today.

Well I think I will wrap this up, (kind of feel a nap calling.)  My plan is to stay out of the Blog Fog and in a future entry I will catch up some of the happenings on the way to Yonder. But just in case,  let me say "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Yonder Trail!"
