Good Morning,
I salute this Monday with a hot cup of Door County Jamaican Blue Mountain Blend Coffee and it's time to write.
The average person has each day stacked with activities before they shut off the alarm clock and grab a cup of coffee.
I like to drink coffee but I will admit that I drink most of me coffee while I am on the go from activity to activity. It is not very often that I just sit and enjoy the coffee and unwind or rewind. Even at rest we are often very busy. We just haven't learned how to just relax and sit still. In the fall I will wake up early and rush out of the door to hunt waterfowl. Once I get to my spot I will pour myself a coffee and then while drinking it some geese will start to fly in and I will drop my cup to call the geese in and hopefully shoot a couple. I come home happy but very tired. Even what we do to relax is often filled with activities.
Psalm 131:2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.
My point for the day is this. It is time we learned to shut off the phone, close the lap top and just do nothing for a half an hour or more. Close your eyes if needed and check your eyelids for cracks. A thirty minute nap adds freshness to any busy day. Slow down and enjoy a breakfast and beverage of your choice. But eat slow enough to taste your breakfast. You might even find that you are more productive when you relax and rest properly.
Food for thought!
Marty
