A Million Things

Ever have one of those days where you could do/ should do a million things but you aren’t inspired to do a single one of them? That’s my day today. 

I’ve been stressed over the last couple of hours to do something as I rehash all the possible things I should do and could  do…while not accomplishing a single thing. So I threw in a load of laundry to make myself feel better. 

Then I thought for a second. 

Why does every moment need to be filled with something? Who is pressuring me to do anything? Only me, myself, and I. 

I thought further.

Maybe I’ve been blessed with a day of rest. A day void of a “to-do” list. A day where nothing really matters except for being at peace and enjoying our beautiful home. 

I think we struggle to enjoy downtime. If we don’t fill every second of our awake hours with something we feel is productive and constructive, we suffer from guilt. I know I do. We feel we aren’t pulling our weight or doing our share. But, in God’s reality, we need to rest and rejuvenate so we can replenish our bucket.  

So doing nothing isn’t always destructive. It can be quite the opposite. And today I’ve finally resigned myself to doing nothing because, today, nothing really is something. 

So no more guilt-tripping myself. I’m sitting outside with Nyx, listening to the many birds and enjoying the windy, warm breeze messing up my hair. And I’m thanking God for his many blessings. 

Those million things can wait another day.
