chaos. chaos. chaos. my life has felt like this the past few days with work, family activities, and more work. twelve hours pass by quickly but can be very tiring, especially catering to people who are used to getting things on a silver (ahem, platinum) platter day in and day out. by the time you're out of work and have time to spend with loved ones, you feel drained and a bit short on personality; like there's nothing more to give. your body just craves some empty calories and a soft mattress to rest on, preferably your own. forget the mega-millions! empty, errand free days are a winning lotto ticket, though a pina colada on a white sandy beach on the equator would do wonders.
my reprive came this morning in the form of my backyard. interesting how relaxation can come in different forms. lightning storms are beautiful, but i really abhor thunder, especially on days spent alone. the aftermath, however, is to me, unmatched. i walked outside to my backyard and saw how peaceful it was. i took it in in deep breaths and probably appeared as if i was in a complete mindless daze. the moisture of the air soothing my skin, the smell of fresh air cleaning my lungs, the healthy green grass and plants soothing my eyes....it just felt amazing. overcast, warm, moist, quiet...soothing to my soul. no patients freaking out, no codes, no running around, no alarms, no driving to and from stores, no allergies, just nature and me. love it...
