sometimes I feel very tired

I have been so busy the last two days, with all sorts of things. I saw my favorite band play and went to the art institute's student show on Friday, yesterday I went to a friend's house to watch a Woody Allen movie on a projection screen, I worked, I ate, went to my math class, I laughed, I went from one thing to the next feeling brimmed up with life and vitality and went to sleep and woke up and did it again.

Today is Easter and we both have the day off and there will be a break in my busy life and I feel lathargic now, like I can't even get dressed and ready to go. Perhaps the demands of being around one's family are more daunting than twenty hours of a jam packed life, complete with organizing, factoring, determining, deciding, scheduling, etc.

I am already late for it, will make everyone else delayed by being late and I still linger, unable to find the joy that will bring through the day. Perhaps it will be the little ones with their open faces and easy smiles that will make today special.
