Waking up, my body felt as though it had been run over. Finding my way to the gym, the workout was difficult doing my best to maneuver an exhausted body. Grunting and moaning through each exercise, pouring effort into a short thirty minute workout. Body cramping, out of breath I was done. I couldn’t wait to get home, out of the heat. 

The sensation of exhaustion has been in my body since Friday. I couldn’t shake being tired, pushing through until I couldn’t. Sleeping long hours, vegging on the sofa watching tv, allowing my mind to slow down and rest. Not looking at my phone, barely answering notifications. My mind needed a break. Plans with my sponsor falling through, grateful because I was just telling myself how it’s been a while since I’ve had a true break. 

I’m thankful for the time I was given to unwind, release, and relax. Enjoying my own company, not wanting to hide or run away from myself. I enjoyed every moment “we,” God myself and I had together. As the day went on I began feeling less exhausted.
