I Got Nothin'

I am committed to writing this blog.  But honestly, I got nothin’.  I have started several paragraphs on a range of topics and none of them go anywhere.  I read them over and think, well that’s just dumb.  So I end up deleting and staring at the blank screen. 

Sometimes I feel that way in my relationships too.  Days when I know I should put forth the effort to try, to give, to love, (or maybe even do the dishes).  Some days I got nothin’.  I feel absolutely no umph, for whatever reason I am empty and don’t feel motivated toward others not my husband, family or friends.  When these occasions arise, (thankfully not too often) it’s usually a message to me that I need to re-fill my tank.   

We have to have something in order to give something.  Humans don’t do well running on empty for too long.  If you got nothin’ today take action and do something that puts gas in your tank.  Call a friend, eat a cheeseburger, take a walk, watch a stupid movie and laugh, whatever refuels you emotionally, spiritually, physically.  Do something that leaves you feeling a bit more alive, rejuvenated, and refreshed.  Then get up and go do the dishes.
