REST

Some verbal trivia;

- A good rest is half the work

- Stong work ethic? You can still justify taking a break. In fact, we NEED to take breaks - regularly and frequently. Why? We work more effectly when we don't work so much.

- Rest periods and vacations break our work routines. They help shift our thinking from its habitual, stuck patterns.They create the space for energy and creativiity to flow.

- They give us time for reflections, so we can step back and look at whats happening in our lives. We become more sensitive and aware.

- And finally we are stronger when we balance our work and play time.
All work and no play throws our life ourt of balance and endangers our health. Our bodies and minds need sufficient rest for recuperation. This is critically important with the level of stress in our lives these days.

- The time to relax is when you don't have time to relax.

- We still need more healthy rest in order to work at our best. My health is the main capital I have and I want to administer it intelligently. (That final statement was from Ernest Hemminway)

That's okay, I am not good at the computor either. I just learned how to delete a comment! Nexxt time we'll have to eat something first!! We are unfortunately not as young as we used to be. I said that to Ken the other day and He said fortunately we are not as young as we used to be. That means we have lived longer. He is always correcting me on these matters.
