Slow Yourself Down
If you don’t slow yourself down life has a way of doing it for you. Even if the timing is bad, rest when you need it. Because when life throws something at you to slow you down the time it happens is always inconvenient. Pick up a book and relax a minute.

It’s a Concern
Humans don’t realize how fragile their health can become over time and as we age. It’s concerning when the doctor says “I have your test results.” For a brief second my heart flutters and my stomach leaps. All we can do is what is in our reach to do. Eat better. Move your body. Get…

Goodnight
Day is done and night is here. The moon is bright and the air is cool. Maybe I haven’t done everything I wanted to do this day, but I did all I could in the twenty four hours I was given. Do all you can, with what you have and know you did your best.

It’s a New Day
When the chaos of this life causes you to be exhausted and anxious remember tomorrow is a new day. As much as I detest old worn out sentimental expressions, I have to admit this one is a fact. Do not under estimate the power of a good night’s sleep and a snuggle from your mate,…

No Sin in Slowing Down
Go go go…do that thing, then the next then the next…go go go… STOP! There is no productivity in constant motion. There is loss of efficiency in multitasking. Being tired is not anyway to live. Sometimes we have to simply stop. Take a day to do nothing. You know this. Like me you probably say…

Ever Have You Ever
Have you ever been so completely exhausted that even after a good sleep you are still tired? Me too! Sometimes I can attribute my exhaustion to my own bad decisions. In that case it is all my fault. Sometimes I am just plain tired and I need to snuggle my puppy or my husband. Other…
