There is nothing like REST for the recovery of body and mind.
This 3-day holiday weekend allowed me an extra day of much-needed time. Time is always the struggle of our modern life and this was one time I was going to take every minute of it to enjoy. I even took the advice of friends and sat down while watching a movie. Not only did I watch "Holiday" with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz, but I also watched "Julie & Julia". Both were just what I needed to pamper myself. Along with napping and puttering around the house and yard with the dogs. A dog's life is what I enjoyed for at least one of those day and just as I suspected of my canine's world: It was GREAT! My body's health feels great today and my mind is free.
Now, the challenge comes in keeping this restful, stress-free feeling and hanging on to it for the rest of this short work week. Thank goodness for another holiday coming up. Just in case a little bit of stress decides to jump on my bandwagon, I'll have a chance to recharge before the start of a new year and a new approach to life.
Rest IS good.
