Something I may not have mentioned anywhere before is that much of my life is inspired by music. I have a rich and full soundtrack to my life, and it can often catch me unaware and suddenly come out my mouth in the most inappropriate places. But, this is not about that embarrassing turn of events.
This is about living … and a song that I keep coming back to, over and over, lately is this:
It’s the message in the song, not the artist – though I have nothing against Tim McGraw, trust me. It is the message – that it shouldn’t take facing death to live life to its fullest.
I know I certainly do not do this; I want to, I do. But I’m in a space of low spirits, enervation and just having a hard time getting ON with it, if you know what I mean. So much to do – and who cares, it will still be there tomorrow, and if I don’t do it no one will notice, care or be damaged by it, so … pfft.
There are a million and one excuses, but mostly it is apathy, I think. I need a motivator. Right now not much seems to motivate.
I think I’ll have some more coffee, while I’m waiting to be motivated.
That is all – for now.

Getting out of a seemingly insurmountable state of ennui can be daunting. I’ve done it, but I can’t tell you how I did it. And, even if I could, it might not work for you or anyone else. All I can say is that it’s an internal switch – a “click” that apparently comes from nowhere. It’s the set of bootstraps you could not find before that show up just in time to enable you to haul yourself out.
I hope you find your bootstraps.
