elul 10 Shhh

my brain hurts from thinking and doing too much and i am ready to call it a night--early for me.  only 9pm.

soon i will tuck my oldest in bed for the night. we will say prayers. i will remind her to say her 'gratefuls'.  i will tell her i love her and will say lila tov~goodnight and gently shut her door. 
the house will be quiet. i will be quiet.  i will stretch on a yoga mat and remind myself that i am not merely a 'walking-head'.  my body too, needs to work and move and do.  then i will sit for a bit.  sit still, that is.  i will settle in and pay attention to gift of breath.  i will breathe.  I will return.

Lila Tov.
