Go Directly to Jail. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect $100.

Aimless.  Relatively useless.  Unproductive.  Do you ever feel that way?  I did today.  It's a feeling that creeps up on me now and again.   It's not a pity party.  Or maybe it is.  Or maybe I just need a nap.

I do know that I am restless.  I've been saying "no" a lot this year per God's orders, and He has kindly graced me with a few "yeses" this Fall.  But I feel the restless breezes blowing, and still He asks me to wait.

Maybe He just wants me to practice the art of living in the present.  If I did, then I would be doing some pretty impetuous things right now ~ but then it comes back full circle to saying "no" until I am released to say "yes," so I guess impetuousness is not on my dance card at the moment.

Is anyone out there tracking with me?  Just one voice from the internet wilderness will make me feel better because then I will know that I am not the only one.

Okay, the little gremlins who live in my blog tell me that a bunch of people have read this post but no one has commented. That means I must be the only one who feels this way. Bummer. Time for an attitude adjustment since no one will commiserate with me.

Ohhh nooo...you are in very good company my friend. I've complied with several of God's no's/not yets lately and it's left me with MANY days feeling a little less than chipper wondering if I am wandering in a meantime or if I'm simply not enjoying my present fully enough.
