Relaxing Into a Busy Morning
There is Always Time to Write and Have a Cup of Coffee
Some mornings feel possible and some, like this morning feel full of obligation and less time to get everything done. Today, choosing to write is hard, when there is so much else that needs tending. I know I will feel good about showing up to the page, showing up to myself and I will feel good about having done my hundred words today, but it is challenging to be present.
This morning I am seeking the promise of energy from my coffee. Trying to be responsible, I drank a cup of water first and now am enjoying the warm, creamy, comfort of coffee. In the back of my mind, I am hoping it will help me wake into this day and not just make me pee halfway through the little bit of time I have to write this morning.
Most of all I am relaxing enough to laugh at how my mind works and am grateful for this practice that lets me see how in ten minutes, I can go from panicking to shifting to the humor of it and feeling good about getting over myself enough to write.
