The Effects of Living

Day one hundred sixty six: We have been busy lately. I feel like I keep posting that, but it is true. Everytime I turn around, I am tired and I realize that it is because I stayed up too late the night before or got up too early that morning or did too much that day. Or all of the above. Sometimes I wish my body could adapt to our busy schedule. At least then I'd feel "normal" rather than tired (even though it would just be chronic tiredness).

Maybe that's not really a good idea. This way I realize I need to make a change. Or that something isn't quite right.

So, I am tired. I don't see much change in the near future. Maybe it will come along and surprise me.

I look forward to not being tired for a number of reasons. I'll have energy to think. I'll have time to clean. I'll be more fun. I'll be creative. I'll do more for others. To mention a few.

Thank you, God, for tired feelings. Thank you for making my body smart enough to give me warnings. Please help me to figure out a way to heed the message. Thank you for all the fun, entertaining, memorable things I have been involved in and the people we have been spending time with that have contributed to my tired feelings. They have been worth it. Thank you for life.



What's this about? I decided on my birthday to make a commitment to being intentionally thankful. I challenged myself to post one thing I am thankful for everyday this year.
