I don’t have it in me to write a long post tonight. But I’ve set a goal and I need to get some words out before I zonk off. Doesn’t feel like I have anything insightful to share. But I’ve got to do something.
My wife, son, and dog are all sleeping peacefully. I can hear their breath and it’s reassuring. With so many uncertainties and ambiguities something so simple is a grounding and calming force.
I had a stressful day. And the urge to try to solve all the worlds problems tonight was strong. But I didn’t allow myself to bring it home with me. I thought and thought and thought on the bus home continuing the endless mental cycle of trying to solve everything all at once. But when I stepped off the bus I let it go. I exercised. Made dinner for my family. And kept a boundary.
Everything will be alright. I’ll get done what needs to get some. And spending the few hours I have at night actually engaging with my family took all of that stress away and brought me back to what really matters.
I Didn’t know this post would turn into what it is. But like I said: sometimes when you’ve got nothing you’ve got to do something. And it can turn into something halfway decent and meaningful.
If you take the first step to doing something you just might end up with what you’re looking for in the first place.
G’night.
