I don't know if it's the humidity or what, but my energy and enthusiasm levels have been quite low lately. My little John is the only motivation I have to keep moving. Otherwise I would be reading (it's a good book!), or simply making lists of all the things I think I should do, need to do, or would like to be doing. I like lists, and I'm usually pretty good at using them effectively. But when they get too long I seem to become paralyzed by all the different directions they take me. Ha! There's my problem! I just need to cut down on my list, simple. I knew a little 'blog reflection' would help. I feel enthused already!

Another thing I am feeling is gratitude. The good book I am reading currently is "Life and Death in Shanghai". I will write more about it when I finish reading, but for now it is renewing my gratitude for this wonderful country that we live in! How blessed we are to have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom itself!! I am humble by how good I have it.
