DOLDRUMS

In my day we called them the "doldrums" when we were not so much depressed as just a sort of mental blah or dare I say "funk"?  How outdated is that word today?  It seems my 75th birthday gave me a sucker punch I wasn't expecting and I haven't bounced back yet.

Nothing seems to be happening.  I wanted to be faithful every Monday to a blog post and haven't had a word come to mind for two weeks.  It was August 14th and I am almost into October and can't seem to get a handle on anything.  But at this age wasted time is not an option.  God's Word says that He will redeem the years the locust has eaten (Joel 2:25).  So I am going to hope and pray that He gives me back these weeks somehow in some sort of productivity with results.

I'm wanting to find a way to earn some income writing.  My only problem is I'm NOT writing.  For me this "getting old" stuff constantly baffles me or just plain trips me up.  Either way, it can be a real challenge and an even greater frustration.

Still I know you have to agree when I say - we've only one option and that is just awake each day with hope and a positive attitude and an "I will and I can" that won't quit.  Hopefully I will take my own words to heart and today is the day that it will finally come together and happen for me.
