Life Coaching: Life Lesson From My Couch

I have struggled today to find something to write about. I have something I have been thinking about, but I’m not sure if I need to post it because it could be easily misunderstood. Maybe I’m struggling today because I took a Zyrtec for my allergies. I would like nothing more than to curl up on the couch and sleep for a couple of hours. I’ve also been awake since 4:00 this morning, and I am grouchy as a bear. I had to get out early this morning, and I wasn’t real happy about that. I have to go pick up my groceries here in a little bit and I’m not real happy about that, either. Well, except for ice cream…I’m a little happy about that, even if it is Halo Top…

I think I just want to be left alone today, an emotion I seldom feel, but when I do feel that way, I mean it. I just want to lay on the couch, nap, watch videos and eat the Halo Top to the bottom of the carton, burp, and proceed on to the popcorn…but alas, I started a new diet and I can only have about half a cup of said Halo Top, and one small bag of popcorn. On further reflection, this is probably why I want to be left alone…I am hungry and I want a pizza. Maybe I just need to rephrase that…I want to be left alone except for anyone who has pizza and/or donuts. I would settle for either, but would prefer both.

When life gets like this, I know it’s time for me to slow down mentally. I have to decompress, take my time, and just hang out for a little while or stress will get the better of me. I know myself all too well, and today, this afternoon, I crave the quiet, calm presence of the Lord. I need His soothing touch, and I need His energizing power. I also need chocolate. A piece as big as my head.

Forgive my rambling today. I am definitely not on my game, but I really don’t have to be. All I have to do is tell God how I feel and He will meet me right where I am, hold me in his arms, and give me peace, quiet, rest. That’s all that matters. I am praying God will meet you where you are with that same peace,and bless the works of your hands today, as we go into the weekend. May He richly and abundantly bless you with grace and mercy. And may you find rest for your souls.
