No End In Sight

Never mind the mess in front of me. I’ve been going to pick it up for awhile, but I just haven’t done so yet. I have so much on my to-do list and it keeps getting longer every day. Some days I think I will finally get something crossed off the list, only to realize while cleaning up one mess, I have created more than I can handle. I don’t have the energy for any of this. If only I could get a handle on this vicious cycle I would be so relieved, yet I see no end in sight. Maybe I will stop and rest for the day, that way I will have more energy to try again tomorrow.
