I am feeling a little melancholy today and am not sure why. Maybe it's the process of coming "down" from the emotional highs of the past few exceptional days. Maybe I'm just tired. Or perhaps I'm just having a bad-hair day.
I know I'm contending with a three-way inner conflict. A battle of wills, I call it. There are the "wants," the "shoulds" and the "need-to's." I WANT to put on old clothes, go outside, dig in the dirt and plant things! I SHOULD be sifting through the mountain of mail and paperwork that never ranks as high as it should on my priority list. Instead of either of those, I NEED to fulfill an obligatory commitment this afternoon. In fact, I should be on my way there right now. So. . .off I go, grateful for God's gift of an open mind that will accept His will and not my own.
I feel better already.
