Sometimes my body just needs to stop and rest. If I don't listen, then it simply shuts down for a while. Such is the case this past week. Yet, I was unable to stop the world for a while to let myself restore to health. Result....heading into week 2 much the same.
While I care for myself today, wrapped in a blanket with tea and elderberry, tissues and moisturizer for peeling nose nearby, I am remembering how I cared for my children on their sick days. Using our special "sick blanket" while drinking lots of juice and watching favorite videos seemed to restore both body and soul. They were glad to let me take care and comfort them.
I wonder why it is difficult to take the time for "guilt free" restoration. I also wonder why it is difficult to honestly look at what might be causing my body shut-down times. And where does courage come from to not only face those things, but changing what needs to be changed.
To choose not to be captive in a prison of my own making.
When my head clears up, I will ponder this for possibilities.
