Some days it seems that stress can come at you in all directions – and take many forms. That's when Tuesday feels like a Monday. And it's not that fun.
I was a bit overwhelmed with things at day's end. I almost declined an invitation to go kayaking with our friends, but then figured anything I had to do would still be there when I got home. So I went.
Did not take my camera. Was just going to relax, let go of the stress and enjoy myself.
Well, we had quite a bit of wind and wave action on the river tonight. There was not a lot of "down time." Just paddling to keep moving in the right direction. A lot of paddling.
My shoulder muscles were burning. But guess what? I wasn't thinking about any of those stressors in life. Who had time? Maybe it was good it wasn't a slow evening. I might have had too much time to think. And, you know, make mountains out of mole hills.
And it was just fine I didn't have my fancy camera. Saw an eagle in flight and a Canada goose skirting away from me, but that was it for the wildlife. The last leg, though, before getting back to the boat landing, God put some pretty clouds and streaks in the sky to remind me Who is in charge.
Not me, thank God. I mean really. Thank God.
Think I'll sleep good tonight. Tired mind and body. Life is good.
