My four o'clock p.m. reasons:
Chasing remaining sunlight
Checking in on far-flung family
Plants that need watering and weeding
Singing along to my playlist
Making appointment phone calls
A ripe avocado that needs to be eaten NOW
A drink with friends
The wildlife in my backyard
The load of laundry in the dryer
Online courses purchased but not yet taken
Books, begging to be read
Dinner to be cooked, lunches made
Planning for the weekend, the next break, the next holiday
That unfinished crochet project
The empty journals waiting to be filled
The unused bubble bath...or epsom salts, depending on the day
Time to think, breathe, pray, meditate
Time to prepare for seven hours of sleep before the four thirty a.m. alarm.
The new school year is beginning soon; what are your four p.m. reasons?
