Flat battery

I woke up this morning, with the first sunrays, stroking my cheek. Its soft warm rays encouraging me to get up and start the day. I pull my blanket tighter around me, feeling the chilly air enter the room. The heating off. I read somewhere that the one thing successful people do is wake up early. I have always been an early morning person, but lately as the days get darker and colder, it gets harder to leave the warmth of the bed. I must get up. I motivate myself to get up, with promises of coffee and breakfast. It used to be so easy. Now it takes effort, everything seems like hard work. Mundane day to day things, once not even a thought, now a battle. I got told to take things slowly, to do only as much as I can. Great advice…the problem though is that some things can’t wait. Some things go bad if you leave them for tomorrow. Some things get worse if you put them off, for lack of energy. Taking things slow is good to charge up your batteries, but life does not slowdown. The world around around us keeps moving. So after a period of “slowing down“, life is even more chaotic. Things from the past that must be dealt with, pressures from the present that can’t be put aside, and things in the future, that need preparing for. Just as I need to get up and start my day, I need to sort out my chaos called life. How do I start. Where do I start. Time does not stop and my batteries are still quite empty. I need a supercharge….or a miracle lol
