so I prayed

I didn't want to get out of bed this morning,
so I prayed.

Why didn't I want to get out of bed?
It wasn't that I was especially tired. I pretty much caught up with sleep and overcame what could have been a bad upper respiratory infection (gargling with colloidal silver, drinking raw milk and sleeping cured me).

It wasn't the weather. It's absolutely beautiful here in NJ. A perfectly warmish cool sunny autumn day is breezing around outside.

It wasn't that my alarm went off early. I don't have to teach till 1:30pm.

It wasn't for lack of engagement with the world. The Montclair Times interviewed me for an article on Pet Blessings and the connection between animals and religion at 10am this morning.

My cats were swarming me on the bed eager for me to give them wet food and attention so it wasn't for lack of love.

I asked myself what my problem is.

Life sucks, I answered.
No it doesn't, I answered back.
Your life is cake! It's better than cake it's a multi- tiered frosted cake!
Yeah, yeah, my life is a frosted cake.
I'm comfortable.
I'm surrounded by pretty things and loved ones.
My body is functional.
My blessings are numerous.
So, why don't I want to live my life today??
Is it the adrenal fatigue?
Should I cheat and have some caffeine (I didn't) to get some motivational hormones going??

I decided to pray.
God, you know my heart.
You have gifted me with talents for some purpose.
Please show me what to do.
Give me some direction to help me live my purpose,
to wake up eager to live,
to help people,
to connect with those who need me and whom I need,
to be happy.
Help  me.

The alarm went off.
It was the news channel blaring about what a perfect day we're having, sunny and breezy.
I sat up reluctantly.

I read some Joel Osteen. He told us to be careful of our self-talk, to tell ourselves that God has good things in store, that the future is bright.
I half believed him.

Did some morning chores then hopped on Facebook
and there it was.

They offer distance learning and financing for tuition.

The books for the courses??

They were all on my "to-read" list anyway.

Can you dig it?

I knew that you could!!!!

I feel like I have something concrete to work toward.

I'm not just a blogger who talks about the  healing power of real food and the nourishing lifestyle.

I'm going to hang a degree on the wall!

Yes, next to all my other ones.

But this one rounds them out.

Kinda like The Dude's rug in The Big Lebowski.

It really ties the room together!
