We all get in “the funk” once in a while. I really don’t enjoy being in that place mentally. For some reason, I find myself there. I can’t place my finger on it, but it probably isn’t just one cause.
I’ve been under a lot lately with my grandmother dying, mom having a heart attack, my own health scare, election time creeping up, work itself, things on the home front that need to get done, and other things I’ve just been putting aside because I don’t want to deal.
 The year 2007 really isn’t shaping up to be everything I thought it might because the first seven weeks have blown by like a jet trying to break the sound barrier.
Julia goes away for a three-day retreat tomorrow. Maybe I’ll use that time to do my own retreating from the world a bit, get a few things done at my pace and relax a little.
