This morning I feel a weariness right behind my eyes. I feel the gentle breeze coming in my office window and have just come from spending time in my lovely gazebo space that has offered so much solace this season. I feel a prevailing sadness that could bring the tears at any moment. I feel the tug of just closing my eyes and giving in to the escape sleep might bring even though I slept well last night and before me lies a beautiful sunny August day with no real expectation or demand to do anything but embrace it. So what is my best defense against this weary and worn out feeling clouding this sunny day? I made a list , I have a plan, I know the drill of showing up and stepping up. But still the weariness envelopes me and I acknowledge it for what it is and why it lingers. I am allowed to be weary. I am allowed to sit with sadness and let my heart and head heal. I trust that happier and easier days will come and so I will simply let this day unfold and be grateful for whatever energy I can muster.
When I am Weary
