PhysicalMental, Spiritual, and Financial rest?

When do you find time to rest?

How do you define rest?

Would you say you get too little rest, not enough, or just the right amount?

Recently slept until 9:30AM. It was not easy. Not because I was sleeping in, but specifically to force myself to get 8 hours of sleep. I never sleep past 5:30AM.

Find a million ways to do what needs to be done. Truly, there is no rest for the weary.

Nobody Sees

May All Your Weeds Be Wildflowers
May All Your Weeds Be Wildflowers

Nobody sees a flower, really – it is so small – we haven’t time, and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time. — Georgia O’Keefe

It’s challenging to slow down during the holidays. Who’s got time?

Nuthin’

What do you want from life“?, was the question.  “Nuthin’“, was the answer.

Mid Life Crisis is when you look at what you – need, want and have.

One person’s scenerio:

  • Works in a northern city
  • Works for the city
  • Has big monthly car payment
  • Rents a dwelling
  • Good salary
  • Not married
  • No Children

Then he says, “You don’t want a cure for your son, you want a cure for you”.

The other person’s scenerio:

  • Lives in southern suberbs
  • Works for big, well-respected company
  • Has no car payments
  • Owns a home
  • Good salary
  • Married
  • Children

They Know What You’re Thinking

At Least He's Got An Excuse

“Our opinions become fixed at the point where we stop thinking.” – Ernest Renan

Do you ever change your mind or your opinion about something once you’ve learned new or different information? Or do you form an opinion and then only listen to information that reinforces the belief you already have? When it comes to your mind, is the door shut or is it open? Do you honestly look at ALL the facts, or do you rely on someone else to provide you with information that is intended to get you to share their own view? Perhaps it’s becoming easier to allow someone else to tell us what we think than it is for us to listen to the facts and then decide for ourselves. Maybe talk radio is becoming the intellectual equivalent of getting a meal at the drive thru window. It’s fast, it’s easy and it’s cheap.

I know folks who, no matter what evidence they are presented to the contrary, will not budge from their original stance. There’s something to be said for loyalty, but there is that line between being true to your convictions and just being bullheaded.

“Stubbornness does have its helpful features.  You always know what you are going to be thinking tomorrow.” ~Glen Beaman

Midlife Pith?

Who Knew There Was So Much "Substance" To It?
Who Knew There Was So Much "Substance" To It?

Do you have Facebook Friends that post updates about how they:

  • Can’t wait for their week to be over
  • Are so glad their day is done
  • Life stinks

Ever wonder if there’s an antidote for this negative vibe?

With Thanksgiving a week away, the antidote ought to be obvious.

Literally, I can’t wait for the alarm clock to go off, for the chance to write five new pithy posts. Yep, five-a-day blogger, full of midlife pith.
