Definition:overwhelm-bury or drown beneath a huge mass
I am overwhelmed
?
boxes in the basement
waiting to be filled
seems like it might be wise to look through things
do I dare
?
everything is a question
one question after another
?
how do we get ready for these massive home repairs
what should I be doing right now
where do I begin
how do we plan for the unforeseen
are these boxes enough
won't we need so many more
where do we start
?
everything is a question
one question after another
?
what cabinets can be emptied
dare I empty them now
what's in all these cabinets
what can I toss
what can I store
what can I donate
what's not necessary, just yet
?
everything is a question
one question after another
?
how will we do this
what needs to be done now soon later then last
what will I regret not doing in advance
how do we plan this out
how do we live here while these home repairs are on-going
are we making a huge mistake
what other option do we even have
?
everything is a question
one question after another
?
what will we need
what will we never miss
why do we have all this stuff
where can we store all the things we want to keep
what must we have access to
do we have the fortitude to get through this
how will I keep kind throughout
?
chicken or egg
rub your belly, pat your head
push me, pull you
c'est sera, sera
that's the way the cookie house crumbles
?
I am overwhelmed
