Carry On

Sometimes all we can do is to just carry on. We get inundated with thought, with to-do-lists, with to-don't-lists with what-if-lists and with what-if-not-lists. We can stay still for a short time or for a really, really long time: just contemplating these things. The short term future, the distant future, what happened yesterday and how that effects us today, or tomorrow or a week or a thousand weeks from now and it's all just a little bit tiring when we think about all that really isn't it. Sometimes all we can do in these moments is carry on. Carry on with what we do know how to do right now. Calm down and make it small, wash the dishes, put on the laundry, anything to stay grounded in these moments and not let the big thoughts overwhelm our day-to-day and carrying on. Even if that's all we can do in these moments; that's a good thing, that's okay.
