I didn’t sleep well last night, and I am paying the price now. Too tired for more than a quick draft of a poem.
Exhaustion sets in
when the movement
slows
down.
The day
is quick-paced
yet long.
School
has ended,
but, the work has not.
Keep pushing.
Keep grinding.
Keep doing.
BUT DON’T FORGET!!
Wind down.
Listen to your body,
to your heart.
Sleep, dream, refresh.
Tomorrow will be here
all
to
soon.
I am participating in the Slice of Life Story Challenge for the month of March. I will be posting every day this month. It is sponsored by twowritingteachers.org. #SOL21
Rita DiCarne 
These two stanzas say it all –
The day
is quick-paced
yet long.
School
has ended,
but, the work has not.
I hope you get better sleep tonight, Rita. It’s hard to be tired. Take care.

Take time
Slow down
Recharge.
This year, more than any other, it’s necessary to create guardrails in the day. Take care of yourself.

School has ended, but the work has not – It’s never ending especially this year but you are so right we need to listen to our body and our heart. I hope you have a restful night.
