Tired

The work load is endless. It’s been seven days a week since Christmas. I have chosen it. I know. But my body is tired. And the seemingly continuous housework at the weekends takes it out of me. Oh, I shouldn’t complain. I know this to. The news reports about the state of the Israeli hostages stops me still. How can I ever complain again? Oh, let us learn compassion. And less self pity. Bless them. Let them heal and live again. All of them, Palestinians and Israelis. All.
