What a Blue Monday. I usually have Blue Monday feelings on Sunday night. I guess it’s in anticipation of Monday. But today is special. It’s the first day light savings time Monday. I had bad dreams last night and had trouble sleeping. I’m still burned out from my bladder infection. I missed church yesterday (more oversleeping) I over slept this morning. I twisted my ankle on my way out the door to greet a day gray with rain. Nicky went into the post office to help me by getting my mail. He dropped his iphone and cracked his screen. It’s not shaping up as a great day.
I wonder if Jesus suffered Blue Monday syndrome while a man on earth. Were some days harder for Him to do what the Father called Him to do than others? Did He wake each morning with knowledge of the challenges He would face, the doubt He raise, the rejections of His message? I have to think He was in every way human, with the divine within that sometimes made His mission tougher rather than easier.
For me I have to accept that I am subject to mood altering situations. Some days it’s harder to take each needed step. Worse, it’s harder to even hear what the next needed step is. But I at least am not sure that the day will be low.
I just realized that Kaydence comes home tonight. Maybe today won’t be so bad after all.
Isn’t Blue Monday just a state of mind anyway? Tomorrow is Tuesday, isn’t it.
Nick
