Tuesday Settles In

Tuesday Settles In
Like a Soft Cotton Shirt

Tuesday’s soft cotton shirt settles in as I begin the day. Monday’s frantic welcome and return to responsibilities, lists of things to do, and obligations to meet have settled down. Today, a steady, less-frantic rhythm of being combined with doing greets me as I contemplate the day.
Tuesday is much less concerned with weekend endings and workweek beginnings. It’s a day of now, of awareness of what awaits, yet anticipation for the remaining week. Tuesday lacks the pace of Monday—whether that pace was sluggish and resistant or pumped up with enthusiasm and can-do motivation.
Tuesday continues steps on the map I charted on Monday. Those steps are clear, concise, and measured, yet also as comfortable as my well-worn cotton clothing. Tuesday’s easy entrance into the balance of the week settles me, yet still leaves me open to possibility with open eyes and heart and mind.
