I needed a break from things today. A little break of time, the blog, and everything. We needed time today to pray, to meditate, and to come to a point of balance today again. Lately it seems that we have been rushing around in our lives and not stopping to actually think. We live on impulse and spontaneity sometimes and it literally tires you out!
Today I also broke a box of ceramic tiles that were to be used on our kitchen floor. Also a sign to slow down. Instead of taking my time and holding on to the box correctly, I was rushing and I didn't grab it correctly. Boom it went on top of my mother-in-law's foot! Not a good thing to happen as she was also having a rough day.
Sometimes we have to slow down and not try to do ten thousand things at once. We have to take the time to spend with our furbabies (aka: our dogs.) and each other and slow down. Thus, the reason my blog today is a bit late.
Slow down today. That's why it's Sunday. In history Sunday was intended as the day of rest. So why do we do as much as we can in that one day? From now on I am going to work on making Sunday's our day of rest and enjoyment....not days of stress and work. Maybe it's something for others to think about too!
Ahhhh, yes, resting. I do so much agree. Sometimes there are just some things that must be done on Sunday. When that happens, hopefully you can take the next Sunday off and rest to make up for it. We all need those days of rest. The work-aholic always dies young. You can concentrate on your work, but there are times when you must put it aside.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about the dropped box of tile. I hope your mom-in-laws foot is okay. Those boxes are very heavy and clumsy to handle.
