In a funk

There haven’t been many times in my life during which I’ve been in a funk.

But this is one of them.

I feel completely ridiculous for being in said funk.

I have so much for which to be thankful.

A beautiful home. A loving partner. An adorable wigglypup. A great family who loves and supports me. A home church family who — no matter how long I stay away — welcomes me back with open arms whenever I venture back.

I’ve been lucky enough in this lifetime to be graced with the gift of perspective. I’ve seen what it means to be in need. I know I “have” plenty … More than plenty … More than I need.

But the funk has arrived. And has stayed much longer than I care for it to stay.

So Readers … This is me, reaching out to you.

Have you ever been in a funk? A deep one that lasts and lasts?

What did you do?

I’d love to hear your stories. This gal needs some inspiration, please.

  9. redheadgazelle answered: i took an alone trip. either to the mall. or just a ride around town. i normally listened to counting crows and just chatted it up with God.
  10. pamelac answered: hit the gym BIGTIME. Make time to run everyday, no matter what, and do yoga. Drink water, not coffee. Those endorphines are priceless :)
