What do you need today?

It sounds like a simple question, but most of us rarely stop long enough to ask it honestly.

Yesterday evening I finished another full day of work feeling completely spent. The kind of tired that sits in your bones. Menopause has added its own layer to that lately. Some days my sleep is different. Energy is different. The pace that once felt normal now sometimes asks more of me.

I sat in my egg chair looking out at the sea, feeling that familiar pull to keep going. To answer one more message. To think about what needed doing tomorrow. Instead, I put my hand on my heart and asked myself quietly, what do you need today?

Not what needs fixing. Not what should I be doing. Just what do I need.
