I�ve been in an energy rut this week. The lethargy isn�t due to lack of sleep, as I�ve been getting to bed at decent hours most nights.
It might be a delayed exhaustion from our whirl-wind four day romp across Arizona. We packed in a lot of activity during a short time, we did quite a bit of walking, and my part of the deal involved a good deal of driving. At my last check, we covered over 750 miles in 4 days.
It may also be the general �let-down� feeling you get after a positive but temporary change in your routine, like a vacation or a visit from friends.
Whatever the reason, I�ve been sapped of energy this week.
Because I�ve been feeling so tired, I debated whether or not to go to my drumming class this evening. I wasn�t looking forward to another drive over the mountain to Sedona. But I thought that maybe the drumming was just the energy boost I needed. I went. And it was.
Sometimes the energy raised in a drumming circle is brilliant. Tonight was one of those times. It was a small group � only four of us. But everyone was locked in, the rhythms were all flowing beautifully, and the energy was awesome. At one point, the energy level was so acute that I could swear that there was singing.
Good times, I tell you.
So, with the residual energy still humming inside me, I don�t think that the doll-drums are going to be a problem any more this week. Getting to sleep, however, might be tricky. I think a nice, calming cup of herbal tea is in order.
