Monday.
Spent the morning getting my daughters to morning weights. Took a walk. Discovered a store was closed on Mondays. Talked with a colleague and got her the rest of the copies of a book from my room. Got a coffee from The Blue Moon. Took a nap. Made my video lesson for Move Me Poetry. Made dinner and washed dishes.
I spent a little time in Spaces on Twitter (now X I guess) and am trying to write a blog post.
Those are some of the things I did.
I felt tired this morning. I am feeling a sense of sadness I can’t shake. I thought about the upcoming school year. I danced with moments of doubt. Considered just getting into the car and driving away.
Those were some of the things I felt today.
How many people spent their day doing more things than me? How many people had more intense feelings than me today?
There are almost 2 million people in the state of Nebraska. Farmers, shop owners, doctors, school teachers, teenagers… all of us making it through a Monday with our own emotions, doing our own things.
Crazy to think about how a day is filled with so many lives, so many stories that will never be known by more than a few people. How many tears fell today… from crying or laughing.
Expand the idea to our country, to the world.
At the moment you are reading this, how many things are being done, how many emotions are being felt?
What a fantastic thing this is… a day.
