Exhausting.....

“Sometimes you get a glimpse of a semicolon coming, a few lines farther on, and it is like climbing a steep path through woods and seeing a wooden benchjust at a bend in the road ahead, a place where you can expect to sit for a moment, catching your breath.”

Lewis Thomas

In our busy life,

we spend so much time

running on the hamster wheel

that

on some days

it feels like

seems like

is like

we can't even take the time to breath.

We run around doing stuff,

taking care of someone else,

checking items off the agenda

and

all the while

life moves right along

and

all we do is

get tireder

tighter

and

out of breath.

It is exhausting

our shoulders are heavy and we can't breathe

and

we feel like

our back just might break....

Whew...

It has been that kind of week for me...

my work after vacation has been overwhelming,

transitioning back into life after sitting a spell

is tough

All week

the pressure swirled and I ran

and

got irritable

and

unreasonable

and

agitated.

I didn't really even like myself on some days

and

I usually love this pile of sexy rotund hotness.

Whew...

I'm tired...

and

I see

what appears to be a semi-colon;

and

i'm running toward it

 the next park bench,

I plop my hot butt down,

lift my feet off the ground

and

Whew.....

Saturday's on the couch,

or park bench,

or

floating in the pool (remind me to tell you about Big Daddy's backyard pool fiasco)

are the best place for

a semi-colon

and

a park bench.

Today I breath in and relax!!!

Hugs to you You--

hope your day is relaxing and energizing
