Fatigue is many things.
Fatigue is…
starting out the day with an energy deficit.
being more tired in the morning than you were the night before.
wanting to cry thinking about a task to be done next week.
not remembering where you put the refrigerator, the car or the kids.
operating at half-speed.
When your limbs feel like concrete
and your brain like cotton candy.
when you cannot go
one more millisecond and have to stop NOW.
when it becomes a major chore
to walk to the mailbox.
knowing no one can really understand
unless they stand in your shoes.
oft times painful.
walking through glue.
Fatigue = Gravity X 2
Fatigue is many things.
Fatigue is a great teacher…
when we must learn to share our burden.
when we must learn to
freely let go
of some of the
control
we prize so dearly.
when we must learn to stop and smell the roses.
when we must learn to love the quiet times.
when we must learn
to let our souls and our bodies lie fallow
waiting for change that will bring new life.
when we can laugh at ourselves.
Fatigue is a great teacher if we can learn it’s lessons.
Fatigue means learning these lessons again and again.
Fatigue is about letting go.
Fatigue is many things.
