Mind Under Matter
Today has been a reversed “Mind over Matter” day. “If I don’t mind, then it must not matter.”
For instance, do I mind if there is a basket full of laundry to be folded and it’s sitting in the middle of my sofa where I and anyone who walks in the front door can see it? Most days I’d say yes, I mind … but today it doesn’t matter.
Do I mind today if our bedroom bathroom is in need of a more than average dose of elbow grease? Nah … the only ones who will see it are Lynn and I … today it doesn’t matter.
Did I care that I rolled out of bed at 10:30 this morning and then rolled back into bed at 11:30 because I still couldn’t wake up? Not today … today it didn’t matter.
Do I mind that there are dust bunnies rolling out from beneath the bookshelves while I am sitting in my nice cozy recliner with the trusty lap top? What do you think?
Today is a not matter day. It’s overcast and the barometer has dropped. When the barometer drops the body aches, the eyelids get heavier, and the brain slows to a hangover crawl … and not very much else matters.
All of the years I had to drag myself to work on days I like this I looked forward to retirement and told myself these kind of days would then count as some of my happiest because I could crawl back beneath that nice warm quilt without one iota of guilt. Instead of dragging that rebellious body to work I could give it the tender loving care it was screaming for. So … today … it doesn’t matter and I’m loving it!
You are right! There are some days it just doesn’t matter and you deserve to get rest and pamper yourself. I am glad you were able to have that kind of day today.
