Today I am grateful for:
- My family. It felt good to see them all. This summer has been such a lonely one and i have been fighting the urge to both stay home and to go out. I need my family but I also need to keep them and me safe. It was nice to have an excuse.
- Small snatches of time and energy. There are moments in the day when I am gifted not just time without pain, but the energy to fill those moments with productivity. I miss being useful, capable, needed. Rest is important, sure, but action can be healing in its own way too.
- Sleep. I haven’t had much of it lately, but every night I look forward to the possibility of peace and the rest I so desperately need. Tonight I’m going to meditate, take a long shower, take a little melatonin and hope to wake up refreshed.
