Do you remember the story of Sisyphus?
Condemned by the Greek gods to push a boulder up the mountain only to have it roll back down to the bottom forcing him to start over?
I feel like that today.
Discouraged.
Disappointed.
Knowing there is work to do.
Work I believe in and believe to be important.
Work that, in my best moments, I know matters and touches the lives of others.
But I don’t want to do it.
I don’t want to lean into that rock and to start pushing again.
What I really want to do is to sit down and pout.
Not a great way to begin the day, is it?
But, here I am.
My computer is on.
My email folder is open.
My To Do list in front of me.
I guess it is time to get started.
