Battery Critically Low

October 17, 2012 Off By Lisa

My cell phone is just about dead.  I just tried to use it and got a message that said:

“Battery Critically Low!”

Out loud (because I do that), I said to my Self, “yeah, you’re not kidding.”

My personal battery is critically low at the moment.  But I didn’t realize it.

I am not sick.  I am not in pain.  I am not particularly tired.  I am not cranky.  In fact, I feel quite well and am slightly over-caffeinated at the moment.

But even though I feel well overall, I do feel kind of drained.  Actually, I feel over-stimulated.  There is too much noise in my brain and I am having difficulty finding the quiet so that I can think and sort it all out.  Despite my general state of OK-ness, I realized that I have been missing a few things…

  • exercise
  • enough time in my day for the unexpected
  • quiet – the literal and figurative kind
  • time to do things alone
  • adequate sleep
  • time spent in prayer and in the Word
  • drinking enough water

So before my Self heads into auto-shutdown mode, I am taking a short break.  Nothing major, not even a hiatus.  A short break to just be and not force anything to happen.

I have lots of fun things coming that involve injuries, the Rotten Cats, Crock-Pots, salad dressing and a few things that Fab Hub swore he would never eat.

How’s that for a creepy teaser?

See you Thursday!
