Blue Monday
I didn't know it was Blue Monday until I read about it. However, I do have to say that I'm having a tough time staying focused and motivated today. I have some personal distractions this week that are particularly challenging, so that may explain my difficulty in concentrating. I find myself wandering from appointed tasks and so I've begun jotting down a few key words when my mind wanders. It somehow makes the wandering more purposeful and task-driven when I can put the thought to paper and make a little plan to deal with the distraction more fully at a later time.
Worry is a shadowy figure that hovers in the air like a bad stench, distorting our sense of the passing of time, poking our minds and bodies with sharp little sticks. I may not get rid of worry completely today, so for the time being I'm compensating by poking it back a little with the tip of my trusty pencil.
