The Beauty in Nothing You Planned Getting Done

Today, my to-do list was not very long, but filled with extremely important matters that had to be handled. At the end of the day, I was not productive, not one thing got done. I did all the work for it to get done, but nope, nothing accomplished. There are days when life happens and with no control or say by you, line items are eliminated and erased before your very eyes. Often times when this happens we sulk and resent that we have to do the aforementioned tasks on a later day, but then we are reminded of the Beauty: the Beauty in having picnics with your children in the park, the Beauty in trying again, the Beauty in rewriting your to-do lists, the Beauty in not being upset by the things you cannot control, the Beauty in exhausting your children so they pass out with no argument, the Beauty in nothing you planned getting done.

The Beauty in Exhaustion

There are days when you are only running on adrenaline and the darkness under your eyes relate you to scavengers instead of people. On those days, your body begins to communicate with you through twinges in your back, tightness in your shoulders, itchiness behind your pupils, pounding on your head and all you crave is a bed, or maybe even a chair, anywhere as long as you can have uninterrupted REM. Ahh, the blessed REM. Often times when we are deprived of our basic need for sleep/rest we are irritated with everything and we, ourselves, are unbearable to be around, but then we are reminded of the Beauty: the Beauty of sleeping in, the Beauty of finally catching up, the Beauty of beds, the Beauty of the deliriously funny state that only occurs when you’re exceptionally tired, the Beauty in sleep-aids, the Beauty in exhaustion.
