Thoughts on nothing

Well, here I am with nothing brilliant to say, but frustrated with having a blank blog for several days now... So I will write... regardless of having nothing to say...

Sometimes it is important to just do things... I realize this is an incredibly broad statement... but it's true. I often do not feel like doing certain things... taking out the trash, for example, is not the most exciting and rewarding job out there, yet it needs to be done. I have been thinking on this some. .. not a lot, but some.

One of my least favorite expressions is, "but I don't feel like it." I hate this grouping of words even more when I look back at times that I have used it. How horribly selfish is this statement?
Seriously Katherine, shut up and do it.

That is at least what I want to say to myself.

Because the trash needs to be taken out, and work needs to get done, and people need to be loved... and the time comes for me to stop looking around for other people to get their hands dirty and stop making excusses for why I am exempt from loving that person, or how it is not my turn to take out the trash.

So here I go, I pick me. I volunteer to get my hands dirty, and actually try to be a little bit like Christ... but man... sometimes I just really don't feel like it.
