Check-in

I haven't been very motivated this week to blog about much of anything. I've been exhausted, with the irratic sleeping patterns of my children, and feeling discouraged with the most recent upheaval in the kids' staffing with their workers. I forced myself, though, to pray the Hours tonight. For me, this says it all:

Lord Jesus Christ,
You have given your followers
an example of gentleness and humility,
a task that is easy, a burden that is light.
Accept the prayers and work of this day,
and give to us the rest that will strengthen us
to render more faithful to you
who live and reign forever and ever.
Amen.

So as I've said before, I am once again glad that I pushed through my reluctance, my discouragement, and my weariness. I want to post about "Lost" and "Studio 60" and "Heroes." This weekend, there's figure skating again (Skate America, the first in the Grand Prix series), so I'm certain that it will help my motivation. Right now, all I want to do is go to bed!
