Yuck.
It's been a busy day, not just one of those days that is filled with busyness, but one of those days where busyness seems to fill you, to posess you, to act like a drug that completely overwhelms all your senses and leaves you at the end of it feeling exhausted and empty and lacking.
The combination of that, and as a result of my stress levels being the highest I can remember for a long time, I've decided to avid the internet and msn and chatting online tonight. I've decided rather to get a book I've been meaning to read for a while, and to just curl up on my couch, the home-made hazlenut cappuchino, my book and I, and just indulge my mind for a night, alone with my own thoughts and questions.
I think confucious got it right:
“No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance”
Tonight I'm choosing not to be ignorant.
Goodnight.

Hey sorry you had a bad day yesterday!
ReplyDeleteMe too as it happens - and I totally know what u mean about busyness filling u rather than a day filled with busyness - bizarre but true!
I got to the end of my day yesterday and simply breathed for a while! It's good to do that from time to time (!)
Anyway, I hope today has been better for you - mine has!
That is the wonderful thing about days - they start and (sometimes after what feels an eternity) they end and we get to have a new day - Good one God!
