Searching for Rest

day after day
decluttering the house
to bring in the calm

today's reward
two more feet of clean space
in the living room

Progress

stepping on the scale

keeping off the 20 pounds

for 3 whole months

after long weekend-
house looks a whole lot better
andlots of cooked food

holiday eve-
straining to get done
so rest can be had

two days till week's end
reminding myself of rest
that is to come

budgeting

planning for the month
pulling $600
out of thin air
