Because I Believed in Me (My Egyptian Fantasy Came True)

I have written well over fifty blogs now, and at times it gets harder and harder to think of topics I wish to discuss and share.  This week was one of those.  I just simply did not feel inspired or motivated even to try to create a new blog after I finished my mini-series about traveling.  So I decided to spend my time today reading some of my old poems. Surprisingly one of them seemed to fit my mood today, so maybe I actually do have a blog topic to share.  Sometimes our minds do become blank, and we become lazy and uninspired as I seem to be right now.        

I never relax much even when I feel lazy or bored, so on a similar day many months ago, I found a way to end my boredom and my lazy state of mind by writing the poem you will see below.  The creation of this poem actually eliminated the unproductive mood I was feeling on that unhappy day and has miraculously made me feel productive once again today. I actually have a message to share after all.  I was reminded that it is alright to feel lazy at times and that boredom is not necessarily a bad thing.  Having feelings like this occasionally makes all of those times when we are accomplishing great things seem even more wonderful. Thus, if you are feeling lazy, unproductive, or bored right now, do not feel bad about yourself. Tomorrow is another day to pick yourself up and begin once more. “Believe and dream bigger!”

A STUPID LAZY DAY

By Randi D. Ward

What a lazy day this has been

Sitting here all day in my family den.

Nothing to do, not a thought in my head,

I am beginning to feel a little bit dead.

Some people find this to be a pleasant thing

To just sit here, not to think, and to do nothing,

But this is starting to drive me completely crazy

Because I really do not like to be this incredibly lazy.

I want to learn something interesting and new.

I must find something productive to do.

So I must get my lazy brain and body back in gear

Before I become sadder, and my eyes begin to tear.

I am a big dreamer and must find another project,

One that I will truly love and never want to reject.

Thank God, the wheels in my brain are once more starting to turn,

And the newfound energy in my body is beginning to burn.

I think I am coming up with some new and creative things to do.

        They are really surprising me and may even surprise you, too.
