Cuz I am.
I am tired. Three little words but man, they are important. It is time to face it. I need a nap. I need the kind of nap that happens on a beach. This beach would be gorgeous---we're talking beyond Boracay gorgeous. There would be waves in the distant background. My family would be there, but they would all be happy doing their own thing---not needing me, yet content knowing I was there. I would get a tan, I would read, and I would sleep. My mind would wander. I would think about everything and nothing. I would not think about the time, or the days, or the plans, or the goals, or the regrets, or any of the should-a, would-a, could-a type things. I would....wait for it...RELAX.
Yesterday, I was so tired that I actually fell down! What grown woman falls down? I mean seriously. There wasn't even a curb or obvious obstacle to take the blame---just concrete. I tripped, I fell, landed on my hands and knees. Humbling. Humiliating. Hard concrete. Looking down at the pavement, I again said to myself: I need a nap.
There is so much going on in all our lives and mine is so exception. I live a very blessed life and I count myself as the luckiest wife and mother out there. I love teaching, I love living in China, and I love a lot of things about my life. I especially adore my family, but life is just plain busy and I keep saying I'm going to simplify. What a beautiful word, right?
Simplify. Nap. RELAX. Three beautiful words.
Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, I wish those of you who read my blog would comment. Who are you? I want to know! I keep watching my site meter go up, up, and UP, yet I have no idea who my readers are. Please...Say hi:)
