I’ve been having an ongoing conversation these past days about being tired. It’s physical: late nights, early mornings, long days, travel, work, responsibility. But sometimes it’s more. Sometimes I’m head-tired, emotion-tired, heart-tired. And tonight, I’m blog-tired. So, given that I can’t even form original thoughts for this post, I go to my favorite source: online quotes. Consider these:
When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago. (Friedrick Nietzsche)
Perhaps I’m old and tired but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is say “hang the sense of it” and just keep yourself occupied. (Douglas Adams)
God help me. I’m so tired. I need my sleep. I make no bones about it. I need eight hours a day, and at least ten at night. (Bill Hicks)
I’m so tired, but I can’t sleep…standing on the edge of something much too deep…funny how I feel so much but cannot say a word…we are screaming inside, oh, but we can’t be heard…so afraid to love you, more afraid to lose…clinging to a past. (Sarah McLaughlin)
One may go a long way after one is tired. (French proverb)
It’s possible to forget how alive we really are. We can become dry and tired, just existing, instead of really living. We need to remind ourselves of the juice of life, and make that a habit. Find those places inside that jump for joy, and do things. (Author unknown)
I will sleep tonight – long and well, I’m sure. I AM tired, physically. But my head, emotions, and heart are well – and that, in and of itself, offers me rest.
