It’s Monday and as I looked over a couple of dozen half-finished posts, I couldn’t decide what should be in this space today. I’m out of excuses

I was going to say I have a bad case of writer’s block, but the fact that I can string these words together would seem to contradict that. There must be another reason for today’s apathy.

I could instead claim I am SAD, suffering from seasonal affective disorder. We had a time change a week ago and that throws many people for a loop. But I doubt that’s it – I usually adjust pretty quickly to a time change.

Maybe I should blame the weather. We’ve had a lot of grey, damp days and winter is coming soon. But today the sun is shining and the temperature is hovering around zero Celsius. Today’s weather shouldn’t make me feel apathetic.

There’s always the traditional excuse that it is Monday, but that doesn’t seem right either. I have no particular aversion to Mondays, though, recognizing how others feel, I do post a lot of Monday humor here.

I’m torn between choosing laziness or just the desire to let my brain take the day off. My unfinished posts require some thought, and today my brain seems to want to take things somewhat easy. That really isn’t laziness, is it?

Perhaps I’ve been reading too much about what is going on the the world. The inhumanity that is happening is enough to ask whether it is worth trying to be a peacemaker – but you can’t let the bad things dictate your life. There is a lot of evil in the world, but there is even more good. It is just that sometimes you have to search for it – bad news gets all the publicity.

Whatever the reason, today’s post fits into the “random” category in the blog title.  Maybe my brain will kick into gear tomorrow.

So how are you feeling today? Lethargic? Energized? Or somewhere in between?
