After a long week
"thoughts"
After a long, busy week,
Here I am.
It is Saturday morning.
I am alone.
Resting.
My window is open.
A fresh breeze.
There are a few light rain showers outdoors.
Birds fly.
I'm watching from my window.
The gray mist is moving slowly.
Viewing it from a distance appears invigorating.
Enjoying nature.
Next to me, there's a cup of coffee.
I am fantasizing about life.
I wish I could relax like this every day.
I wish I had all I desired.
Sometimes life can keep me occupied.
Is there a way?
Will I ever rest and stop working?
How can I even get to the point of resting?
I wish I had everything.
I wish my life was simpler.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Hi Gloria, This for sure is a TS in my view. The simple pleasures of nature, and the soothing ambiance of a rainy day with a cup of coffee beautifully captures the essence of finding tranquility amidst the chaos of daily life. Your words evoke a longing for simplicity and a deeper connection with nature that many of us can relate to. Thank you for sharing such a contemplative and calming piece. Warm regards, Jason
