I ask myself this daily. Suzy, your words and photos are so precious to me. You inspire me and lift me up dear friend.

Sometimes at this busy time that is the solution....and I agree with you, we must not feel guilty about doing just that!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-80336937960590240912012-01-26T07:47:15.091-08:002012-01-26T07:47:15.091-08:00I agree so much with what you say about resting. ...I agree so much with what you say about resting. We still have 'rest-time' at our house on days we are at home at mid-day, although our youngest is now a teenager. And I too feel a lot tired-er than ten years ago. I often wonder how those grandparents who are having to bring up their grandchildren for whatever reason (quite a few of them around) manage to do it! God's grace, I suppose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-78072477720796026812012-01-26T05:27:17.408-08:002012-01-26T05:27:17.408-08:00For many, many years I went thru my days fighting ...For many, many years I went thru my days fighting tiredness, but boy was my house spotless. I never sat except to nurse or rock a baby and then my hands were always doing something, my mind on the next thing on my to do list. <br />Now, twenty, thirty? years later I finally learned! I always wake early, 4:00, so by lunch I am tired. After we eat we now lie down, if only for 20 minutes. We may not sleep and often I don't, but at least my body is able to rest. It's important and something I wish I had learned when I was younger.<br />Thank you for the great links and once again for a lovely post.Tracey ~ Cloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11575854515384481573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-68472568014297406922012-01-26T04:28:52.215-08:002012-01-26T04:28:52.215-08:00Everything about this post I loved, especially thi...Everything about this post I loved, especially this about mamahood<br /> "It doesn't always "look" pretty or impressive, but things are happening at an integral level." <br />I do feel the same way about unschooling. Things are happening all the time whether they are big or small. And your thoughts on not rushing spoke clearly to me. I too am always trying to fill spaces with purposeful activity. It would be nice to remember idleness more as peacefulness :).<br />That poetry slam!! Wow! I may have to link to it!! And I am glad you enjoyed I AM, definitely inspiring :).<br />Btw, I am an INFP too!!<br />xoMJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13238426502277628056noreply@blogger.com
