I don't want to go through the motions

Well, I've been thinking that I haven't been on here for a couple of weeks and to be honest with you, it's because I'm dealing with a lot of junk right now.  I have had a hard time with stress lately. 

Since I've been stuck in this boot for over a month, I haven't been able to go run or walk or do much exercise and it is driving me nuts because that is my stress relief.  The stress from my classes and just the busyness this time of year has been a lot to handle and my emotions are in roller coaster mode!  Just ask Mark!  He should be sainted.

I'm trying to hold it all together, but to tell you the truth, the old "Fake It Till You Make It" idea really stinks!  The song "The Motions" keeps running through my head.  I wonder how long I've been going through the motions.  The lyrics are so true for me. 

I don't want to go through the motions
I don't want to go one more day without Your All Consuming Passion Inside of Me
I don't want to spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything instead of going through the motions?

Just something to think about.
