Maggie's Day 43 of Discovering Love in being at home

I’m absolutely tired. It’s been a very long day.

Up early. A very exhausting workout at Highland Fitness then a day in the studio using every bit of energy I had to complete a project for tonight’s art class.

I didn’t get home from class until after 10:00 and then I went straight to work for Discovering Love in 365 Days, LLC and now I write. Not much tonight though. I hope I don’t disappoint you. I’m just asking for a night off because I am absolutely exhausted.

The music is playing on the radio and I
hear, “Does anybody want to take me home?”

I’m thinking, “Just take me to bed.” I’m wondering how on Earth I’m ever going to make it up the stairs tonight. I really cannot recall how long it has been since I’ve been this drained.

So, in this moment I’m loving the fact that I am home and my bed is only a flight of steps away. I’m not quite sure how I’ll conquer those steps though.

Oh my, maybe a little nap in the Pretty Princess Chair before heading up to bed. Oh, now that’s a great idea.

You already know how much I love the Pretty Princess Chair (see Maggie’s Day 23 of Discovering Love in Exhaustion) so it only makes sense to start there and then work my way up stairs.

I sound like a kid making every excuse in the world not to go to bed. I love going to bed especially to my bed. I love my bed. But tonight, well tonight I am absolutely worn out. My body aches from head to toe.

How will I do it? More is yet to be revealed on this one you guys.

Just one little thing before I go.

Why is it with all this love flying about so many people can’t feel it, recognize it or share it? I’m finding it in hallways, pizza slices, sad days, the ballet, exhaustion and through a widow. Just to name a few of the unique places in which I have discovered love since embarking on this journey of Discovering Love in 365 Days.

We’ll have to talk more about this tomorrow or perhaps another day. But just like I’m wondering how I’m going to make it upstairs; I’m wondering why so many people can’t find love in all the simple places.

It’s out there. Grasp it!

Thanks for letting me off tonight. I really am in a lot of pain and just want to go to bed, to the one that I love. Sweet Dreams! Maggie ã

  1. Since I have been following you and Clare in Discovering love in 365 days, I have been more aware of love! My Brother called to say he was discovering love in a laundry mat, I did not question that one! I am rediscovering love with my Grandson Gabe, we have been reunited after 2 months of being apart. Gabe discovered puppy love when my furbaby Kio became tired on a walk and had to share the stroller with Gabe, an elderly couple in the grocery store, a slow cooker full of 15 bean soup and ham, giving my jewelry to unsuspecting people who are are working their butts off at the drive through windows at Star Bucks and MacDonald's (my jewelry is made with love), tonight I am taking my love of recovery to have a meeting at a Women's prison in Madison, In. Loving my best friend until she can love herself. Love is everywhere, I just became more aware it! Thank you. Love you!
