Monday morning

It was a long week for me last week.  As I sit at my desk right now I am emotionally drained and am longing just to go cut my lawn (seriously – it hasn’t been cut for two weeks and my new neighbour probably thinks he moved next to rednecks whom at anytime will place a couch on the grass)

When I am tired and drained I’ve learned the importance of finding outlets to help refuel my body and soul.  Here are some ways I’ve enjoyed lately;

• Golf.  I really wish I could golf everyday.  There is a church in Toronto that buys a golf membership for their senior pastor everyyear.  It doesn’t hurt that it’s a massive church and a couple of the board members are part owners of golflinks. 
• Watching a movie that makes me think.  I first thought I would enjoy dumb, mindless movies when I’m drained but I’m finding that dumb, mindless movies are usually chic flicks or R-rated garbage.  I’d go for a true story or a great mystery and a bowl of popcorn. 
• Wood working.  My father is one of the best finished carpenters I know and he has shown me the joy of building something out of nothing.  It doesn’t matter what the project – I love to work with wood (not that I’m any good at it but I think I’m getting better)
• Reading a good book listening to Hillsong United, Jars of Clay,Coldplay or some good hip-hop and R & B.

What’s worked in the past has been shooting a basketball, going for a run and eating a box of goodie rings in one sitting   I wish I could say “working out” but I’m not there yet.  I’m really trying to get there … but not yet.  Maybe I need a trainer?

There’s a little snapshot of my life.
