On the brink

You know those times when you go a little too hard, for a little too long, and get a little too tired? And all of a sudden you realize your body is almost out of reserves and if you’re not careful you could come down with something?

Well, that’s how I’m feeling today. On the brink, but backpedaling furiously and refusing to go over the edge.

I took a nap this afternoon; will go to bed early tonight; have been drinking hot tea; and staying warm and cozy. I expect to feel fine tomorrow.

Doing nothing and loving it

Yesterday truly did me in.

But of course, I had to once again get up early and make it through a morning of singing for Sunday service. It was beautiful and inspiring, as usual, but it took some real work to keep my energy up.

But then…?

…aahhhh. Nothing. Niente. Nada.

Ramesha went off to the Buttes with a friend and I pretty much crashed…but in the nicest, most quiet and subtle way possible.

I read a silly novel. I napped a little. I caught up on a few emails (but nothing demanding). And read some more while drinking a cup of herbal tea.

I eventually worked up to folding laundry and doing dishes.

I didn’t go anywhere or talk to anyone. And it was just what I needed.
