Summer Slump
I am suffering with the summer slump. I have plenty to do and yet I am completely unmotivated for any of it. I do try to walk most mornings, but that’s about it. When I get home from work all I want to do is sit, doze, crochet (I am finishing my son’s “college” blanket), and watch television or sit and stare out the window.
I have blamed it on the humidity, on the heat, on the news, on the whatever the excuse of the moment is.
The truth is I am in emotional limbo. Everything will change next month when both my boys leave for college and my daughter starts high school. The fact is it has already changed and I think I’m just in denial.
But it’s okay, I’m giving myself permission to be here for this season. It will end soon and I’ll be back on track.
Give yourself a break and enjoy the time. Lives are so hectic, we need to slow down sometimes and just gently drift along with the currents. I still feel guilty o occasion when I spend a day off doing absolutely nothing, but I am getting better at it. 🙂
Sorry about the slump. Blame it on the heat.
Right about this time in the summer, I yearn for the return of Fall and "normalcy."
The snow and ice can stay where they are, though.
Sheila, the slump will pass. Be good to yourself.
Now that we're back in the real world, I enjoy sitting beside the window, watching the birds and other small animals, run around our backyard. Couldn't do this in Kuwait.
