This week’s 5 Minute Friday is all about “beyond”…just writing, no thinking…
GO
The day drags behind me like a limp shadow. My muscles ache with every step I take up the stairs. Boxes strewn around me, filled with cheese graters, pancake griddles and steak knives, things that I packed months ago, and haven’t needed since.
My ears ring with the angry words that I spewed out after a mischievous little boy scratched his fingernails into the plush of our brand new couch. The bumper of the car holds a brand new dent, born out of my haste and distracted mind.
In a few short days, we will be beyond our move; we will be unpacked, unfurled, and undone. Why can’t I see past the end of my nose to what will be, instead of what is now? Fatigue swallows me, and I close my eyes. Beyond today. Beyond next week.
STOP
Rachel, so nice to meet you! I can SO relate to the exhaustion that engulfs us when we are so busy! May your move be quick and may you get some much needed rest…blessings to you!
Thanks Jacque…it has been a tough go, especially with kids that just don’t stop! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by…
Praying for you.
Thanks Denise – I appreciate the prayers!
