With all we do

And go through

And deal with

And juggle

And manage

And hold together

And put in place

And accomplish

And work at

And worry about

Do we give ourselves permission

To be tired?

To say out loud “I am tired?”

And to step back?

And to take a break?

And to take a nap?

And to say “no?”

And to do nothing?

Without feeling guilty?

I hope you do that better than I do.
I am tired.
