Dog Days of Summer

I can feel it in the air and in people... the "Dog Days of Summer" are nealy upon us.
Two of three meetings that I had this week, people appeared half awake, tired, run down, bored.
Church we had a strange Sunday with set up and organizational stuff. The last few weeks, we've had volunteers just not show up.
Man that's always so tough, but extra hard when you see others running down.

A week ago, my phone rang almost non-stop, and there were some major events in peoples lives that exploded all at the same time. I was feeling tired. This week.... silence. Those two extremes, remind me the Dog Days are almost here.
(Even the ski show we went to last night was fully of mistakes and went on and on and on)

I love Summer, I'll take it over winter any day. But when the dog days come, energy, focus, determiation begins to slip... I hate that. I know that we can't stay "jacked up" all the time, but can't we stay more balanced, focused and resolved to stay in the game and get things done. So if you're like me and you are feeling the dogs nipping at your feet.... give them a big swift kick and continue to press on, enjoy life and do what you do best!
