Is it really Monday again? 

Did you know if you are sick and stay in the recliner all day on Saturday, that your weekend is pretty much blown?

Let me testify to that!  I should have known it was coming when I woke up sneezing in the wee hours of Friday.  I took some medicine and was able to make it to work.  I thought I had beat it.  We went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse Friday night after work.  That was quite an experience in and of itself.  (Did you know that if you are told the wait will be 45 minutes, and you end up waiting an hour AND 45 minutes and when you go and check in and they tell you that they called your name already and you tell them they most assuradely did not…that if the manager is called he will offer to provice your meal for free that night?)  Anyway, the food was good and we gave the waitress a hefty tip!  I thought I was feeling o.k. when I went to bed.  But when I woke up Saturday morning, my head was so heavy I wasn’t sure I could lift it off the pillow.

I don’t know why I don’t like to stay in my bedroom when I’m not feeling well.  I guess misery loves company.  So I grabbed a sleeping bag and curled up in the recliner out in the living room where I stayed all day!  I watched television in between naps.  Ben said I snored once or twice, and of course I used the “but my nose is stuffed up” excuse!

I won’t think about all the plans I had for Saturday.  The closets that were going to be cleaned and the floors that needed mopping and the sundry other things on my “Saturday to do list”…..needless to say they will have to be done another time.  Saturday was all about chilling out! 

I did feel better on Sunday and was able to start my 5th week of “The Artist’s Way”.  The title of this chaper is “Recovering a Sense of Possibility.”  That sounds great!  I wonder when we start losing that sense of possibility?  Maybe after falling flat on our face a couple of times?  Maybe after a few people tell us what we want to do isn’t possible?  The negative voices tend to make us doubt ourselves and doubt God. 

I love what the author says, “Most of us never consider how powerful the Creator really is.  Instead, we draw very limited amounts of the power available to us.  We decide how powerful God is for us.  We unconsciously set a limit on how much God can give or help us.”

OK….so here is to a week of NOT limiting God!  Here is to a week of being aware of the power available to me.  Here is to a week of considering how awesome and powerful He is!!
