Bel far Neinte: The Beauty of Doing Nothing

While on bed rest for the last 7.5 weeks I have had plenty of time to contemplate the 'beauty of doing nothing.' I'm trying to appreciate it, knowing that in a few short weeks I am exchanging nothing for a lot of sleepless nights and a whole lifetime of something and someone. Ironically, even now there are a lot of somethings I could do to fill the nothing hours, but I lack motivation. Maybe part of the answer is being grateful for the choice?

Days are long right now, but even reviewing the past 8 months, time has gone and will go quickly. So for now, I will count down and try to find beauty in nothingness while I wait.
