Being off work is never easy for me...I am one of those people who just doesn't like to take time off. When I do something, I do it with my whole heart. When I am put in the position to have to take time off, I tend to be just a little irritated. I mean, I feel like I am letting others down, and who can ever throw themselves into staying home because of a silly injury. It is terribly difficult to just sit around.
Today, I decided to "be good" and rest up. Not easy, but not impossible. So here is my take on the whole thing...No matter what God has you doing, do it with abandon. So, rest I did. I tried very hard to not over do. I sat...I read...I watched the news...I made a batch of Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies and I visited with my daughter when she came by. I had a simple dinner with my husband and we watched American Idol together. Not the most thrilling day I have ever had, but nice. I managed not to be too hard on myself...and allowed myself a free day. A day without any real expectations.
So, what did I learn today...God is in the simple things...Even free days.
