My first day of Spring Break should have excitement quivering inside me. However, I feel drained, tired and just plain beat. I have no big plans for this week. The only initial thoughts were to clean, organize, exercise daily and meet up with friends a few times. Honestly, right now that seems like too much. My thoughts are battling – “this is your week off to get things done!” versus “take this week and just be- enjoy”. I should be okay with letting rest win, until guilt for some reason steps in. For today at least, I will begin with a book, a blanket, a cup of tea while watching the raindrops dot and drip down the window.
Just breathe, rest and be
Who’s making you get things done
Only your mind- shhhh!
It is National Poetry Month so I am taking part in Ethical ELA’s #VerseLove Challenge. The challenge is to write a poem a day. I did this last year and learned so much about writing poetry and its different forms. Today’s prompt was to write Haibun poem. This originated in Japan and consists of prose first and then a haiku. The topic was rest as resistance. So check-off Day 1.
