The Days, The Hours, The Moments: Day 217 ~ Holding the space for all to have a quiet, peaceful night…

Just breathe…

Dearhearts,

Yesterday was such a hectic, busy day and I got home with barely any time between putting groceries away and my daughter coming to spend the evening. By the time she left I was too tired to do anything but go to sleep.

I thought I would wake up today and set the world on fire getting much done but I stared sleepily into my coffee for hours with barely the energy to drink it. I couldn’t paint, I was near tears, and so tired. I have felt down all day but couldn’t tell you why?

I slept most of the afternoon and finally got up at 5:30 to do the evening round of chores and take care of the animals. I sat for 90 minutes staring at the computer as if I hadn’t seen one before and didn’t know what to do with it. I have just been so tired.

I seem to be super sensitive, more and more, toward going out, as if agoraphobia is rising. Going out takes a toll. I had to go out Monday and yesterday and then it’s like everything just shuts down. Today I didn’t have the energy to speak or write or paint. Sometimes we just need to rest and be.

I am thinking of you all with much love and I hope you are well and find peace in your heart. I am holding space for all of us to take the time we need for quiet and rest. The tides will turn. I will be back…

  1. Sending you love and holding space for you. Go with the tide. xoxoxo

    • Thank you so much dear Carolyn, you are very kind. I am resting with my wee dog Molly, about to turn off the laptop and be quiet. May you be blessed with gentle hours…

    We all need time ” to be” to allow healing in our minds and bodies, time for restoring, for inner listening. Blessings Maitri, I love your posts and for different reasons identify with your beautiful soul. Sending healing light and love from the UK. Namaste 🙏❤❤

    that’s kind of the day i had myself. i felt exhausted. by the end of the day i had some energy back, and i did get some good work done this morning. we had a huge rainstorm which cleared some of the horrendous humidity and i took a very long nap during it. . we all have days like this. you were letting everything settle. you are still and always a writer and artist, a loving friend, a caregiver to animals. but sometimes you just need to go into a soft out of focus trance before you can return to your bright and vivid colors.

    • Ah my dear Ka, somehow it doesn’t surprise me that we were both having a similar day and these words of yours, “but sometimes you just need to go into a soft out of focus trance before you can return to your bright and vivid colors.” describe it perfectly, that’s just how it felt… a soft, out of focus trance… That’s what it felt like and I fought it at first because there’s so much I wanted to get done. But then, I let go. I curled up with Molly and went right to sleep. Got up once to go potty and then right back to sleep for another 2 1/2 hours. And I had slept fine the night before, it wasn’t an exhaustion born of too little sleep, it was more a psychic exhaustion. For me it is the agoraphobia (along with, I’m sure, simply aging) because for me on really hard days when I have to leave the house, and I always have to take xanax so I can leave at all, it simply drains everything out of me. It takes a terrible toll. And I need recovery time before the well is full again and I can move forward. I do feel better today, I will get more done today, but I won’t push myself (And neither would Maisie!).

      Be gentle with yourself dear sister. I love you…

  4. Sleep well and get refreshed for tomorrow. Just know there’s a whole lotta ladies and gentlemen praying for you and holding you in their thoughts. I love you, Maitri, because you are so honest and transparent. Talk to you tomorrow. Love to Molly as well and the birdies.

    • Thank you so much dear Marge, and those prayers mean so much to me. I am constantly praying quietly through my day and I feel very close to God and the angels. That helps so much. And I love you too, and Molly and the birdies send their love as well…

  5. Sending hugs. xxx

  6. Hi Maitri,

    My hubby and I have both been feeling this. It has to do with the full moon eclipse. So many others I’ve read are feeling it too. Just go with it as we are doing. It will pass.

    • Thank you for telling me this dear Jean, you know I wish I understood more about how the cycles of the moon affect us because I absolutely know that they do but I don’t understand it all. This piece of information is very helpful for me right now. I hope you are well honey, I think of you often…
