I lied and said I was busy. I was busy; but not in a way most people understand. I was busy taking deeper breaths. I was busy silencing irrational thoughts. I was busy calming a racing heart. I was busy telling myself I am okay. Sometimes, this is my busy and I will not apologize for it.

Wow. Whoever wrote this read my mind. When I was younger and striving so earnestly for love and a career, I was able to go from one thing to the next, no prob; school, work, chores, friends, bit of sleep, rinse repeat. I can’t seem to do that anymore. I read a quote from Johnny Depp recently about how 8 hours sleep is so much better than anything else these days (something to that effect anyway). I get that! Life is so wonderful and also very stressful at times. Covid just took the cake and there’s more; scary natural disasters, residential school devastation, escalating cost of living and more. I’m an optimist to a fault and even I struggle with what the future will look like. On a positive note (because that’s who I am at the core, Lol), us humans are a resilient and brilliant bunch when need be, so I’m sure we’ll find our way through… but not without needing a few moments to vent, decompress, lick our wounds, regroup. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO
Blessings,
