It is Easter, but I am uneasy.
Holy Week was wonderful, don't get me wrong. The experiences that have had the most significance for me was the watch in the garden and the stations of the cross. It could be because this was the first year I have ever done these two things, but it gave me a new way of experience the Passion.
I am uneasy because of going back to work. I am uneasy because I didn't quite accomplish all that was on my To-Do list. But life does go on, I am not dwelling so much on the fact that it didn't get accomplished. I am realizing more and more that life can seem like one big, never-ending to-do list. That is where the dread of going to work tomorrow comes from. Because I do not get to sleep in to 11 am and ignore the mountains of paper work. It must be faced. And new things will be added. Because that is what happens.
A part of me wishes for one more week. I like being a bum.
One thing I learned in Mexico, was the importance of being present. That when I am working, I need to work hard and when I am resting I need to rest hard. Do everything that I undertake with gusto, be present in the moment.
I can recognize and be present in my uneasiness, but know that tomorrow will come and I will make it through. Because the One who sustains me is bigger than my tomorrows.
Happy Easter!
