Some weeks are simply longer than others. They are not necessarily busier; they are simply longer. For those weeks, the word “weary” works much better than “tired”. Or maybe it is that “weary” describes tired taken to a different place.
Weary weeks do not come around very often. Most of the time they are simply the result of an overload of accumulated tasks that have to be completed. I think most of those weeks are not anyone’s fault. They are the intersection of multiple calendars landing on your own. It happens.
So when I have had a weary week, I refresh by reading. The genre is less important than the act. Reading restores my spirit. That is what I will be doing in a couple of days when this weary week (actually about 10 days) comes to an end.
Had a weary week? Then read and refresh!
