Daily Nugget #140
not now, i have a headache.
do you get headaches?
do you attempt to function and ‘work thru’ them?
do you ever feel not so awesome physically
and still push forward?
today was one of those days for me.
usually
i rest when i need to
take breaks when my body seeks it.
today
i pushed and pushed
i pushed thru
and
kept going
and now
geesh
it’s 10:30 pm
and i’m still going.
here i am
writing this Nugget.
even tho i don’t feel like it
even tho i have a headache.
not now life, i have a headache.
it’s unlike me to keep going like this.
i would make a terrible work-a-holic.
my day was linked together by constant to-do’s and to be’s
and
it was all lovely
until @ 9pm i have yet to get groceries and make dinner.
everyone is hungry – including moi.
my brain is starting to short out.
should i be driving?
damn, i forgot my list.
so as i ramble on
here lying in my bed
Nugget-ing
it is one of the best parts of my day.
i feel the flow start to kick in.
i feel my fingers flying across the keyboard.
my dog is crunching on a bone next to me.
i here bustling outside.
it’s warm. people are out and about.
tis the season of never ending days.
it takes some time to get used to
to build endurance
and
link back to back adventures.
i’m so grateful i created time for a walk (or 2)
and got to have interesting conversations
and
a nice lunch on my porch.
geesh. breakfast seems like days ago.
i remember waking up tired.
i feel the pulse of the earth quickening.
the surge of life all around me.
i can’t help but be affected by it.
remember to breathe.
it is easy to get strung out and drunk on the long days.
but it is important to remember to rest. eat. breathe & pace yourself.
build up to the growing days
so that you can stay up all night next month
when the days are the longest
and
celebrate life.
not now, i have a headache.
but it will soon be gone
and
i will soon be in better shape
for the long days and short nights.
i will remember to rest. to nourish and savor the life force all around me
and
i will remember to breathe……
