    Down, but not for long

    Sometimes I go through bad patches.  The last few days I have felt down, and the big question I've kept asking myself is why?  This is the perplexing thing about it - there is no real reason why I should be feeling down.  Life is running smoothly enough.  Most things are on track.  The only difference I can put my finger on is that I seem to be going through a minor cold.  It isn't a bad cold though, and I know this for certain because I've had no trouble exercising in the last few days.
     
    The weather has changed some - perhaps that's it.  We're in the middle of our first winter cold front, and there's been some rain and a chilly breeze.  The strange things is that I actually enjoy the occasional grey day!  I was pleased to have some protection from the sun today, especially after the harsh summer we've just been through.
     
    Anyway, this afternoon I completed a section of work which has been on my mind for some time now, and I'm somewhat relieved that the main part is completed.  There is much to do still, but most of it is fixing the glitches and polishing the final product.  This evening was also Alpha evening, and I came away from it feeling refreshed, even though I have to lead a group there.  I guess in the context of eternity, my mood has very little to do with anything, and this fact in itself has already got me feeling better!
     
    God is gracious in the way that He sends you support when you need it.  People at work seem to have been extra understanding in the last two days, and I received an email from a friend which also lifted my spirits.  So I guess I'm feeling considerably better than I did earlier today...
     
    Where to from here?  Well, I guess I'll take tomorrow as it comes.  Hopefully I'll have renewed enthusiasm for my current work tasks, now that I've broken the back of them, and who knows what other serendipities will come my way tomorrow!

    It could be spiritual..God trying to get your attention...to pray for someone, or deal with something...that's frequently why I get those "unsettled" or "down" feelings, and after I pray for a while, it will lift. That's always the best way to confront those feelings, anyway!

    Could it be from your recent trip? I always go through a little lull when I'm down and sad after a trip away... I enjoy the trip, don't get me wrong... but during the time you're building up to it, anticipating it...you stay UP and excited. Then... there's a sad little lull in life when its over...
     
    Just a thought...
