Today everything I read at the beginning of the day was encouraging me to stop procrastinating and get going on my task list;
'One step at a time'
'Getting it done was a lot easier than not doing it at all'
and so on.
So I powered up my laptop and submitted reprar prescription requests, fired off email left right and centre, printed off and filed documents as well as saving them from email attachments to folders in my computer, making phone calls, leaving messages, placing the grocery order (oh, did I order yeast? I'd better check).
A friend came round unexpectedly; I nade tea, and she carried the tray while I got an oxygen cylinder and we went and sat in the sun under the apple blossom and caught up on all our news...
It felt MAGNIFICENT!!!
After lunch I thought I'd walk round, yes, walk! to the corner shop post office to extract some money and post a letter...
But I fizzled out, did some knitting, read some of my book...
This piano piece exactly matches the day! You can hear it fizzle out at the end.

What a beautiful and honest description of your day. I smiled reading about you sitting under the apple blossom with your friend — that sounds truly magnificent.
ReplyDeleteI also recognize that rhythm: starting with energy and intention, getting things done, and then slowly running out of steam. Somehow it feels very human, almost like the day finds its own pace.
And maybe that “fizzling out” isn’t a failure at all, but just a gentle landing after a full and meaningful morning.
Thank you for sharing this — it felt very real to read. 💛
It was very real to live through! I'm so pleased with what I achieved.
