Did you ever have a day where you wake up early, the weather is beautiful and you have a dozen things on your to do list, but the next thing you know it’s 3 PM and you’ve accomplished nothing? That was my day today.
I woke up early, played around on the computer, and had big plans to finish painting the bedroom. My husband came home from the gym and we got started on the ceiling. We finished the ceiling in record time, then cleaned up and went to the grocery store. When we arrived home, the weather was so nice, my husband decided to go rototill the garden. I went and flopped into my recliner with my book. Here I am on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, sitting in a chair, reading a book, with absolutely no energy. I could be painting trim. I could be putting chairs out on my porch.
4 o’clock I put the Yankees /Red Sox game on and here I sit. The biggest thing I did today was open the paint can and watch my husband paint the ceiling. The ride home from the grocery store sent my last bit of energy packing as I napped in the truck.
Some days are just like this. Body sapped of energy and mind empty of any productive thought. There’s nothing you can do when your body and mind conspire against you and say, “Sit, read, enjoy the game.”
You say a resounding “But…”.
“No buts. Sit, read, enjoy the game.”
Who can argue with this?
And so, as another day goes by, I guess I’ll just let it go, accept what is and sit, read, and enjoy the game, and….I have written. (Go Sox!)
