sometimes we forget that we need to rest...completely rest. the body will keep going and going and going. then one day it says, " nope...this is as far as i'm going and i'm tired ,and i'm taking some time off!!" well, the last three days have been just like that. my body has insisted on and received, mind you, extra sleep. it's received no strenuous "exercise" or work. it's received very few phone calls, very limited outside access, and it's just stayed at home doing nothing. thinking nothing, not caring about anything and just resting. my first reaction to this purge of bodily junk was to think that i was coming down with something. i thought i was getting sick. to the contrary, my body, mind and soul just wanted a few days to be quiet and let go. that's very hard to do. but, when your body says otherwise, you have no choice but to accept it and let it all hang out...no matter how blah, awfully tiring and exhausting it can be. i've got a few more days before i return to work... and i'm going to make the most of it by doing nothing.
