I'm feeling in a funk about my job today. Ever have one of those days where you feel like your work isn't important but other things are and your work keeps you from those other things?

Hope to get in some easy miles and hot tubbing later today.

PM: Sure enough, 5.25 easy treadmill miles plus a hot tub soak.

Definitely been there (lately!). Hang in there, maybe we could chat tonight.

This may sound cliché right now but when I feel like that I just count my blessings. Not easy some days as a teacher though I'm sure.

About every 2 weeks or so. I'm convinced it comes with life no matter what you do. I think Luther once said "the shopkeeper wishes he was the farmer and the farmer wishes he was the shopkeeper". Deep, I know.

Lots of stuff in life is more important than work.

Amen to that Jon! "Get busy living or get busy dying"
