“It may be my puritanical upbringing at odds with my inborn laziness that makes me feel guilty at the end of the day unless I am able to point at some achievement. But this need be no more impressive than cooking a meal or going for a long walk.” Sir Ian McKellen

I am bad at rest. The moment I lay my head down for a moment the hamster wheel in my mind spins with all the things I have to do, deadlines looming, and people who are waiting to hear from me. I tell myself I’ll take some time when it’s all done. But the fact is, it’s never ALL DONE, there will always be more to do. But if you do not make time for rest, your body will force the issue, be it through injury,illness, etc. it has creative ways of forcing a pause.

So today, even though a laundry list of chores await, I will take a brief intermission. Donning my vintage loungewear to snuggle up to my brand new book in my cozy reading corner is accomplishment enough for today.

Just a little something to hold my hair back during Yoga class…

Thanks to Ms. Pat .ny for being the perfect guide to the sparkly wonders contained there.
