Yes, this looks exactly like us but there are two more pugs in our picture. We are not worth a hill of beans today. The snow that we got on Wednesday is still frozen solid and it is COLD. The tiny heater I have next to me here in my studio is running and as it warms me I droop, I feel like I can’t keep my eyes open. The pugs are suggesting that getting in our big chair all snuggled in with a couple of blankets is the best possible plan for the day. I feel like I am being hypnotized, the cozy heat from the heater, 3 little pugs looking at me with sleepy eyes, I’m in such a pitiful state it just takes too much energy to turn my head to watch the birds at the feeders. Now, that’s just sad.
I’ve done all the things I need to do so far today, I’ve cared for the dogs, taken more food out for the squirrels, did a little bit of work here, meditated, and now, in this blog post, I am making this statement —
WE ARE DECLARING THIS A DAY OF REST.
We mean it. My brain synapses stopped firing. They are frozen. I don’t have a single thing to write about, I can’t rustle up a single thought. I offer you my deepest apologies but it is what it is and it’s Sunday and we all need a day of rest.
This is mine. And the pugs. I will cling to my blankets like Linus and tuck a pug or three in here and there. Give yourself a break today, snuggle up with your furry companions and soft cozy blankets, take a nap, do nothing. Sometimes that’s the deepest wisdom there is. Do nothing. That’s us here.
Now relax, close your eyes, and…
… snoring…
