Eeyore

Following on from "The Wall", I received a surprise gift today from a lovely friend: Eeyore's Little Book of Gloom a book for those Eeyore-ish moments! I'm ever so grateful for this caring and thoughtful gift.

"If you follow your own footsteps... you'll only find the road to nowhere."

"Even if you think you have nothing  worth stealing... someone will  come along and steal your tail."

 Ahh, I feel the 'gloominess' lifting.

The Wall

I should be packing, or writing a reflection paper, or working on stuff for worship@Synod. Instead I'm in mega-procrastination mode.
Why? I've hit a wall. An invisible huge solid wall. It's called fear and self-doubt and tonight I've let it block my path. I know what's happening, I know it's illogical, but this wall is still there. I hope that typing this blog will make the wall crumble a little.

There are times when I'm prone to extremes of emotions: joyous, giddy, silly Tigger-type excitement but then other times, like now, I can be self-doubting, miserable and whingey - a bit like Eeyore.

Paul and I are going on a road trip this long weekend with friends to Melbourne. Hopefully, I snap out of this mood and return to a mild-mannered Tigger (I think a full-on Tigger might be a bit too much for the other passengers in the car!)

Enough of this self-doubt! Enough
