Today I am thankful for a day of rest. I am not good at sitting around and relaxing. I don't know when the busyness became a way of life for me, the To-Do lists piled up everywhere. But, I struggle to just be. When life became extremely busy in August, however, I realized that I needed to make rest a priority so I didn't burn out. Most of the time my day of rest is on Sunday. Other times it's a different day. When my "rest day" happens, I still do things. But I do things I enjoy- making big meals for my boys, going to church as a family, reading, napping, taking my dog for a long walk, sitting on the front porch, baking. It's a self care day in which I reset after a busy week or before a busy week. I am thankful for these days of rest and, the older I get, the more I realize how important they are.
