Resting 2025

I am resolved to allow myself to rest this year.

I have always been a do-er, a mover, and a shaker. Even as I am grieving, I haven’t slowed down.

I feel (felt) like if I am doing something, I can avoid feeling, grieving, and thinking about everything.

Not true.

What has happened is that when I should be sleeping and resting my mind keeps me awake with all the things I try to avoid.

I am learning that rest is not about being inactive, it’s about allowing myself to find peace.

I’ve also learned the hard way, that if you don’t take time to rest, your body will make time for it. Exhaustion will shut your body down!

Rest.

This year and going forward I am rewarding myself with rest, relaxation, and nothingness…

I deserve the peace, the quiet, the freedom.
