Sure it sounds glamorous to be able to say
that.
Or perhaps self absorbed in laziness?
There were times in our teens or maybe it was my sons' teens that they or we would say, "chill".
Now that verbiage usually means to calm down or relax or perhaps feel free to do whatever you wish, maybe?
And today after two days that were polar opposites, one day aggravating so much I was too exhausted from every aspect of my being to write, and perhaps some day I will elaborate on what did that to me, but not yet..., and yesterday was go, go, go and having just a very lovely day with Hubby and Gus and beautiful perfect Florida weather!
As we get older the health professionals tell us oldsters to listen to our bodies and do what is best for them, and now that I am older I am starting to pay attention!
Of course our bodies do talk to us with their own way of saying things like it hurts when you do this, so don’t do that! Bud dump bum.
But being tired also tells us to take that break and rest and not push ourselves over a limit that could prove not to be beneficial and ruin our perception of maintaining a healthy exercise and eating program as in a sabotage of ourselves.
And of course balance is so important in all walks of life whether a younger person or mid-age person. I recall expressions of burning a candle at both ends and burning yourself out. And as we age knowing when to do and when to stop is a delicate practice in life.
Physically we must adjust, and mentally we must too.
Many of us, in our minds still believe we have no limitations only those we throw into our own way.
But in reality for a perfectly healthy person that can well be said, but some of us must utilize our knowledge of what we must contend with, with our physical limitations due to illness to not portend to deny those reasons for how to handle life’s challenges.
Oh, that is not to say not to try harder and for more and bettering yourself and perhaps even slightly pushing yourself further than others may believe you should try…NIKE IT, yep just do it!
I have been trying to not ruin my success and so in actuality there were only two days last week that we stayed home and in my case relaxed, or as in today, I basically did “NOT-A-Thing”, although, I did give Gus his weekly doggie bath and washed his stuffed toys in the machine and then placed them in the dryer, you see not a thing.
Oh I did make breakfast for us, including Gus, and lunch too for all of us, and prepped dinner since Hubby was doing most of it on the grill, but I got the veggies ready to go…
So my Doing NOT-A-Thing day may be a bit different than others doing not-a-thing, but in reality it helped me “chill” and recharge, another oldie but goodie descriptive word…and I feel pooped even so…oh well.
So that’s my call for my do nothing day and I wonder if you do nothing at times too, and how it helps you to go on and on and on… allow me to be the very first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
