desultory - adjective - lacking enthusiasm or any kind of plan
Obviously, desultory isn't a positive word; when spoken, it doesn't even sound like it could be. In fact, it reverberates its own denotation. Yet sometimes you have to use contrast to make a point.
In life, it's easy to be desultory. You can drift aimlessly from one routine pursuit to another sans any real ebullience. Why? Ordinary will always be ordinary. Especially lately, it has been hard to invent tasks in which to immerse the self sans being repetitive. Repetition sucks out the zing. Nowadays, one has to embrace the creative–the new and different–to reap the rewards or just bypass the desultory.
Is it hard to be that thinker standing outside of the box? Maybe. Maybe not. The best thing to come out of this pandemic is originality. There are a lot of people out there that have shed desultory vibes in order to keep their sanity and have found freedom of expression in forms of art. They are doing things they never thought possible, like blogging, for instance. One way to maintain optimism is to be joyously engaged in a constructive task.
Today, think about doing some coloring, literally or figuratively, inside or outside of your own borders.
Have a sunny Sunday!
