Circling

Posted on by hillbillycollegegirl

Have you ever wondered why a dog chases his tail?

Is it because he is bored and needs to expend energy?

As humans, don’t we sometimes feel like we are chasing our tail?

Sure we do, and

Today was my tail chasing day . . .

Dear God:

As a result of my circling, my day was mundane.

I listened, but I didn’t hear

I spoke, but I didn’t say anything

I watched, but I didn’t see anything.

Did I miss a blessing?

Did I fail to be a blessing?

Straighten my circle and bring me back into your service,

so I will not feel as if I am chasing my tail . . .

Expending energy with nothing to show.

Amen

I'm a coal miner's daughter, and proud of my Appalachian heritage. Writing and reading are my passions. I'm a retired barber, loyal friend, and wife. I prefer the mountains but retired to the coast. My ah-ha moment came once I realized a milder climate is kinder to my aging body and senses. My mini-Goldendoodle and two cats are pretty good at hanging out with me while I write. They don't advise or criticize. And for that, I am grateful. I'm an introvert but can switch to being an extravert should the need arise. (Truthfully, given the choice, I'd rather not.) Every day, I pray for guidance and strength. Meandering through life, ain't easy; it's a gift worth cherishing and exploring!
