I am feeling so lethargic today. I hate this feeling above all other feelings. I am a high energy person and when I don’t have energy I get extremely grouchy. I can see it on my own face. When I feel this way I just look angry. For me what causes this is fatigue. I can go so hard and multitask so many projects that I wear myself out thinking I can do everything. Then I get tired and still see all that has to be completed and that bothers me because I want to work but I can’t concentrate. It’s a horrible place to be and that is how I woke up today. Right now I am experiencing this because I am preparing to depart for vacation. That requires getting the trailer and boat ready to go. So I am multitasking several things at home as well as several things at church. Don’t get me wrong I am not complaining I love it this way. I am a project person and I like to have things going on. It is just easy for me to over do it and that is what I have done. All I can think about is laying at the lake in a lawn chair with absolutely NO DECISIONS to make. That sounds so great! But back to reality how can I snap out of this lethargic state so I can get some work done?

Since I was struggling I decided to check the etymology of lethargy. Turns out that the word originates from the Greek word lethargos which means forgetful. I think that is why I start feeling lethargic. I forget why I exist. I am hear to please and serve Christ. So I am just going to keep reminding myself all day why I exist. This should snap me out of my lethargic state. I feel better already!!
