It seems like an oxymoron. But there is something about scratching off items on a to-do list which can bring such a great relief that I finish the day feeling relaxed and refreshed.
Today was such a day. I am sure I lost count of the loads of laundry I completed - towels, blankets, sheets, clothes... Last terms' notebooks were emptied and the notes were filed away. Summer shoes were packed away for the winter (I still needed them when classes started in August!) and scarves were pulled out. It was a highly productive day!
On top of that, I also was able to stop by my grandma's and visit her for a couple hours this afternoon. With my mom we munched on coffeecake and grandma gossiped about church and her family and reminisced the wonderful days she used to share with grandpa. Its good to have her home and out of the hospital.
What makes a day like today, which was so full, feel so relaxing? On the one hand, I think it feel relaxing because, at 6:30 in the evening, I can relax with a days' worth of tasks completed. Additionally, I can also look at tomorrow and tomorrow's list is extremely shorter than today's list was! Its a breath of fresh air to have accomplished so much. It is a day which was filled with relaxing productivity.
