what's next on my list
What’s next on my list is what I want to do in February
Ides, thoughts, dreams
All of it bubbling to the surface
The list is long
It’s filled with lot’s of to do’s and so little self-care
As I look it over the overwhelm set’s in
I like to think I’m superhuman
But I also like to take naps on the couch, read books, go for walks
Scheduling so many to do’s per day
Leaves so little time for that
And so I’m clearing my list
Putting me on top
A pair of fuzzy slippers
A warm blanket
Cozying up by the fireplace
With no expectation of doing or accomplishing
Just breathing
Just being
What a gift
To drop it all
Pick up only what I need
And know that is enough
Yes. It is enough
