Tired

“With every deed you are sowing a seed, though the harvest you may not see.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I wonder what I am sowing right now. I am already exhausted and it is only Tuesday. My exhaustion is making me grumpy. Too much family stuff going on right now. And, too much work stuff.

I am even grumpier because I have not been able to read all my library books. I managed to finish Abundance. I liked it. It’s about Marie Antionette, so lots of flowerly language. It was like reading her diary. A very interesting time in history.

From the website:

Like everyone, I am born naked.
With this opening line of Naslund’s compelling new novel Abundance: A Novel of Marie Antoinette, a very human Marie Antoinette invites readers to live her story as she herself experiences it. From the lush gardens of Versailles to the lights and gaiety of Paris, the verdant countryside of France, and finally the stark and terrifying isolation of a prison cell, the young queen’s life is joyful, poignant, and harrowing by turns. As her world of unprecedented royal splendor crumbles, the charming Marie Antoinette matures into a heroine of inspiring stature, one whose nobility arises not from the circumstance of her birth but from her courageous spirit.

I did watch What Dreams May Come. This is with Robin Williams. Life, death, reincarnation. I loved it. It spoke to my metaphysical self. The imagery was gorgeous.
