I skipped Sunday School this morning.  Sent all my family on ahead and stayed home.  I’m drinking my coffee, reflecting on the funk I’m in, and even made my bed.  I woke up early, so I wasn’t late.  Had a few minutes of quiet time before everyone else got up, so I wasn’t harried.  I just felt like taking some time alone with everyone gone.<\/p>\n

I’m ready for Christmas to be over.  I plan to take the tree down either today or tomorrow – the earliest I can ever remember doing so.  It was a good Christmas. The kids were generous to each other and Santa’s offerings were appreciated by all.  I’m just feeling “done”.<\/p>\n

Maybe my funk is partially because of my 49th birthday coming up.  While I don’t think I have one foot in the grave, I just can’t believe I’m at this point.  Surely I’m only 32 or so?  Guess not.<\/p>\n

I’m going to finish my coffee and head to church to be reminded of the meaning of life – which isn’t me.  Time to get myself out the center of my universe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
