It always takes a little time to unwind from the stresses of the school year. I wake up, as I did today...on the first Monday after the first weekend off...and I discover that my high speed rinse cycle is still on high spin. I even had the alarm set. Funny thing is that even though I had the alarm set, it was on mute...I use my cell phone for an alarm. So I do experience a gradual wind down...but it can be slow. Maybe tomorrow I won't set the alarm. Maybe. It makes me a little nervous when I lose all my structure at once. Makes me wonder about retirement...but that is borrowing trouble...a conversation for another day.
Spent some time doing toning exercises. Walked a full three hours...not all at once...but in chunks...thought about the mental energy it takes to allow myself to get better. Getting better...putting in the time needed to be alone, to heal emotionally, to take time for myself...the time I need to take to nurture others in order not to fall off the face of the earth...the time needed for personal expression through writing...the time required for intimacy and friendship and emotional connection...seize this summer, seize this day, seize this hour and this experience and this emotion...
