Lazy Day - Day 190 of 365

This post is for April 4th, 2011

MEMORY -

Lazy days at Pete's house.  A childhood memory, that stays alive in my heart today.  Most of my summers were spent with Peter and Grandma.  T.V all day and video games all night, all with my two favorite people!

APPLICATION -

Recovering from the hard weekend of work, I decided to take a "lazy day".  I watched lots of television and caught up on some reading.  When the clock hit 4:00pm, I felt a rush of guilt invade me.  I thought to myself " I feel guilty to have waisted a day doing NOTHING!"  My mind wandered for a moment as I got up from the couch.  I walked over to the mirror and saw how peaceful my face looked.  My skin look revived and my hair had unusual shine to it.  My eyes were "dark circle" free and my spirit seemed to radiate from within them.  I went back to the couch, picked up my book and began to read again.  There was no reason to feel guilty, I had deserved a day off to let my body, mind and soul relax.  Thinking I did nothing, I was totally wrong!  I did so much good for my body and it all happened just by relaxing!

REFLECTION -

Life is only as demanding or relaxing as we make it.
