Do you spurt or do you plod?

Hello to all who might possibly stop by even though it has been way tooooooo long since I posted here.To say life has been busy is an understatement. The funny thing is that blogging is addicting and I really missed it even though I haven't been on.

Anyway, tonight's thought: are you a spurter or a plodder? I was considering this while I cleaned up dishes. Amazing how mundane tasks are great for thinking, praying, pondering and such. Anyway, I decided that in many areas of my life I am a spurter. I go in fits and starts, usually starting off with great enthusiasm and energy and then sputtering or quitting altogether. Hmmm... kind of like the hare in the famous fable.

However, there are other areas of my life that I plod along in faithfully. Day in, day out, no matter what I feel, think, etc. I keep going. Why the difference? That's what I am considering tonight. I think the difference lies in where I truly feel led to something, some task, someone. When there is truly devotion and conviction, then I am faithful. When I try to initiate something because I feel I have to or to please someone else, or even just because of someone else's passion, I end up falling flat at some point.

Well, this is my week to try to initiate some changes in my life again. First is with blogging faithfully at least twice a week. The second area I am starting is to begin working out regularly. I am able to pick up some unused sessions with a personal trainer and I just want to work on getting stronger in my core so my back will stay healthy.

So I am planning on being a turtle...plodding along...faithfully...week in, week out, day by day.

So are you a spurter or a plodder? And ask yourself why.

Blessings.
