Get Busy




The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent is made fat.

Proverbs 13:4

We all have times when we get into a rut and don't want to do anything.  Laundry piles up, homework is undone, we try to look busy doing nothing at work, and in general we promote our own sorry agenda of zero accomplishments.  

The best remedy I have found is to get up and do something.  Call your mother, write a note to a friend, sing loud, tickle the kids and engage with humanity.  

When we give nothing, we get nothing.  When we give something, no matter how small the effort, our energy is revived.  

Get up.  Get moving.  Get revived.
