I am writing this post the day after my seventh day, because I truly took a day of rest. I did not open my computer once. And I am grateful that I was able to take this day for rest.

I woke up yesterday morning feeling a little under the weather. I could feel the sinus pressure building, and a headache was just starting behind my left eye. As I was waking up, and checking in with myself (as an fyi, I wake up slowly almost  every morning and do this check in with my body and my guides. It helps me understand my body's rhythms and adjust my day accordingly), I heard my guides share with me that if I didn't want to be sick, I should rest today, drink lots of fluids and watch what I eat.  So, I got up, let my dog outside for a moment, and then went back to bed. I woke up for the second time feeling about the same, so I got up, drank a glass of juice and sat down on couch to watch tv. I rarely get the opportunity to sit and just watch tv, so I have a DVR to record my favorite shows. The DVR was getting pretty full. 

I wrapped myself up in a blanket, and started watching my favorite tv shows.. And there I spent the day.. drinking juice, water and herbal tea, as my body and mind rested.

Today, I feel better for having rested, my DVR is almost empty again, and I have the energy to get back to work today.

There is a reason that we should all take time to rest. Our bodies and minds need the break. For me, the day of mindless TV was perfect. For someone else, a day at the beach, or hiking in the mountains, or a walk in the desert is what is needed to provide balance. We all rest in different ways.Thank GOD for diversity

Today, I am grateful for:

A day of rest..

my DVR

the ability to check in with myself to keep myself in balance

My Guides and Angels for reminding me that being human means that I have a body that I need to take care of..

AND  I am grateful for all of you that are reading this..May my journey help ease yours...
