Sometimes Nothing is Everything


bed


I have a long list of "shoulds" right now but all I want to do is lay around and read. And even though I may hate myself later for not getting my "shoulds" done, I think it is best to listen to my body ...and just relax today. Because sometimes nothing is everything.

I couldn't agree more! You deserve it - I know I go through that same battle constantly myself. We all need a day off!

a day off on your day off is good. rest up chica!

freeteyme said...

Exactly what I felt doing this weekend. Just relax and relax and eat =). The "shoulds" could wait and you deserve a break!

Penny said...

That is the best piece of advice one should always follow....and yet, listening to one's body is soooo hard. Hope you listen and get to relax'n:)

Jaime said...

What ever we find our Self doing right now, is exactly what we should be doing right now.

Be well.
Do good.
All ways.
All days.
Stay true.

Indeed! We are such a busy-li'l-bee culture, which isn't always bad, but some quiet time is SO important for the mind, body soul... Enjoy yours!

Kellie said...

Agree! That is what I did all weekend. Too bad I couldn't turn my nagging brain off but in the end my lazy days won and I did nothing but enjoy my weekend. (Unfortunately now there are cobwebs building up in the corners that I NEED to clean today)...

I haven't been able to do that with a sick hubby, teething 7 month old and about to go to soccer & football practice for my 7 year old but soon...soon I will have a day of nothing but rest and relaxation!

I love those laying on the bed with the laptop, cup of tea and a fresh breezy wind through a open window, kind of days....

That is the most perfect picture ever btw...
