I have nothing to do this afternoon except water my ferns and drink sweet tea so that’s all I’m doing because you can’t really do something you don’t have to do. That is especially true when you’re a procrastinator like me so who knows what I’m forgetting to do that I could be doing instead of procrastinating but honestly I’ve sifted through all my responsibilities and can’t think of one that is actually necessary to do. I figured I shouldn’t complain too much about time to do nothing because I don’t get it that often and I’ve learned that, for me, it’s usually only a calm before the storm. I know that’s a bit morbid to say but it’s the truth and it’s not always a bad storm, it’s just a bit tumultuous sometimes.
In case none of this made much sense, I won’t explain further because it’s not really necessary to know more about it in depth. The moral of the whole story is simply this. I’ve learned to sit in the silence and wait. Or, I try to at least. Usually I’m waiting for doors to open and this is no exception but that is really beside the point because all He’s asking is that we praise Him all the time. I find it hard to praise Him in the slow boring seasons because I like excitement and I usually try to find some if I don’t have any. But there are certain seasons of life, at least for me, where I can’t seem to find any excitement to join into and so it’s then that I sit and wait. Excitement always comes eventually.
And in case you were also wondering what the point of this blog post really is, I will let you know there really isn’t a point except that I find putting words onto paper to be a sort of excitement to me. It’s interesting just to see what comes out of my fingers as I type, especially on a boring Wednesday afternoon.
The frustrating thing is when WiFi is stubborn and you lose half your work which just happened to me, if you wanted to know. So now if the second half feels fake and forced, that is the thing to blame it on. You can’t get creative words out twice because it just doesn’t work like that.
My WordPress site automatically renewed last week and charged me a small sum of money for the space I am taking in cyber space. It served as a stark reminder that I am not doing some of the things I have set out to do and that was a little disappointing. They say you should fail forward though so maybe I will, I’m not sure yet. Only time will really tell.
This blog post isn’t serving much of a purpose but maybe if I write then I will start writing. Sometimes it works that way and other times it doesn’t so I don’t know how this time will work but it’s worth a shot on a boring Wednesday afternoon. I’m almost forgetting my sweet tea because writing is so much fun except the ants are crawling all around my feet which has me worried and slightly distracted. There have also been a few acquaintances walking by my house and then I have to stop and decide whether or not to be a friendly neighbor and say hi or just let them walk on by. I’ve been letting them walk on by because sometimes the risk of awkward conversations simply doesn’t feel worth it and other times it does but today it doesn’t.
Thanks for listening to my nothingness and if you ever have boring Wednesday afternoons you now know you are not alone which is comforting to know sometimes. I appreciate your time, if you gave it, so thank you.
May the ants stay away from your feet and your neighbors be extra friendly.
