Lethargy and normality

Well, it has been three weeks now since I returned to Minnesota. I have to say I am much less inspired to write from here. There was definitely a crash and burn effect to coming home. I was riding high and and coming here I suddenly collapsed. I am not the most depressed I have ever been by any means but I'm not my "usual self" either. The past few weeks I have been a bit under the weather with allergies, colds, stomache issues and post trip blues, all of which have made me completely lazy and lack in the energy department. After this trip I'm not my usual self so that is big part of the challenge. I find myself seeing things differently and even experiencing things I once found normal as if they were completely foreign. It is kind of difficult to sort through all of those things because it's something hard to relate to others unless they've gone through it themselves. So I find myself trying to do those ordinary things and be happy doing them but I'm not really connecting with my surroundings very well yet. I'm becoming a bit more of an introvert than I usually am. I'm not sure if thats a bad thing, its just a thing right now. So its hard to write because I just feel a bit down and don't feel anyone will completely understand. The only semi productive things I have done are to print off my picture and put them in albums and I've begun the job search process (which in and of itself is a reason to be depressed!) I don't write because all I want to do is complain, but I really have no good reason to complain when really I should be talking about how fortunate I am. Ummmmmm, soooo that is my uber lame update. Hope everyone is well :P







My prayers are with you.
At times we all feel as though we have jumped out of an airplane at night. Where we have landed seems unfamilia. Because of where we were before, had sudenly transformed us. This transformation took time to develop into. So it will take time to adjust out of it.
