Do you ever have blah days for no apparent reason? Today was an average day of school, in which no unusual or out of the ordinary events happened. I went to bed early last night, spent time with God, and ate a healthy lunch. The kids were normal, and my team had no major catastrophes.

So why do I feel so funky? I suppose there are some lingering causes from days gone by, but I prefer not to delve into the effects of the past. I feel guilty for feeling down. I know it's goofy. I mean, aren't we all entitled to grey days? The last few weeks have been coasting along smoothly, and maybe I'm afraid of the bottom falling out. Why can't I just appreciate the positive? Why can't I "hold onto the good?"

The focus of the weekly Bible study I attend was arming yourself for spritual battle. It was a familiar scripture about "putting on" the armor of God. Perhaps I faced the day naked. Or is it possible that I am just a chaos junkee? Comfort is found in the familiar, and I've grown used to riding an emotional rollercoaster.

Is it possible to pull yourself out of it? Does the old saying "Mind over Matter" hold true? I'm grateful these days are far and few between. There must be purpose in the pointless, but I have yet to figure it out. Is there anyone out there who identifies? Please pass on your insights.

P.S. I'm not sure how much the weather plays into all of this, but it was a cloudy day here in North Texas.
