Morning Stories: A day of rest

A very needed one after a full week

It’s been a week. Six days of obligations, and today I can finally do nothing all day long. I’m still in my pyjamas, keeping myself warm with my dressing gown. I haven’t done this in ages, but today I know that if I’d get dressed I’d start doing things that need to be done and not rest properly. And I need a day of rest. I feel it in my muscles and in my head.

I never plan weeks like this, busyness is not a badge of honour in my world. I also know that I need days when I don’t have any obligations, but sometimes it will happen and then I just need to be careful to take my rest whenever I can. I had restful evenings all week and I that there’s today. Although it’s not easy to let the washing lie in the basket for another day.

The weather is helpful though. It makes me feel like curling under a blanket with a hot beverage and a book. I may go for a little walk later on though, unless it will start raining again, but that would be all my activity for today.

I hope you’re having a day you need.
