I am soooo tired tonight. And cranky as all get out. I have noticed, however, that there's a pattern to this. I mean, the physical exhaustion has always been a no-brainer... but the "emotional" exhaustion? That's a whole other story. I think I often get critical of myself for feeling bitter, angry, or overwhelmed... and while I still take responsibility for these emotions, I'm also realizing that there is a physical component to them that I can't clearly define.... but it's there. It's real. And I've learned that stress is my greatest enemy... and continue to learn ways to manage it, not always very successfully. But wow, I dream of the day when I can maintain a sense of energy and joy throughout an entire day, from sunrise to sunset.
All this to say, all we can do is the best we can do in any given moment. May we be gentle with ourselves on this bumpy road.
