It's the weekend. Finally. I cannot help but think about how busy our lives are nowadays. Why do we think that a busy schedule gives us worth and validates our existence? How silly is that? We're worn-out, stressed to the core, weary, and tired. Yet, we still push ourselves. We have to do it all. We refuse to rest.
How different our lives would be if we stopped to smell the daisies, tiptoed through the tulips, and sat on our patio to enjoy the fruits of Spring. Make it your priority to SLOW DOWN your schedule so that you can actually enjoy life for a bit. So, you don't die an earlier death. So, you can be more fulfilled and happy.
Slow down. Curl up with your pet, a cup of coffee or tea, and a book (or maybe blogs like this). Journal maybe for a while. But, stop. Halt. Rest. You don't have to be busy. Enjoy the blessing of the life you've been given it and don't squander it with busyness.
Rest for a while. It's okay.
(For the record, this is as much for me as it for any of you.)
Enjoy your weekend.
How very true! I'm being force to slow down with a sore throat and chills. God has different ways of slowing us down, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteYesterday held a nap after a busy morning of giving to others. That was good.
I used the enforced quiet of this morning's staying home time to start another blog! personalcrisishelp.blogspot.com
Now I REALLY will slow down... I will keep your words in mind.
