I listened...

I woke up yesterday with every intention on attending both services at church( didn't happen arrived at the end of 10:30), supporting my Lil Gal in her Aladdin performance at school and doing laundry. Well, my body had other plans for me. As I'm getting older, I'm learning to listen to my body and REST when it says rest. I came home after church, cooked dinner and climbed into bed and closed my eyes. It wasn't my intention to sleep as long as I did but the body spoke. I could hear my children and as long as there was no crying or screaming I knew they were good( if they took showers or not I'm not quite sure.. Shrugs). 

We get one body in this lifetime and we have to treat it with care. There are so many things I still must accomplish, places I must go, people to see etc.. So when it says rest, I listen and rest. When you're a nurturer, you tend to forget about yourself because you're so caught up in caring for others. But we're no good to others if we're no good to ourselves. I must be good to ME 1st and today my body reminded me. 

It's now 3:27am. I have cleaned the kitchen and put dishes away, I vacuumed the floors, picked up all of my son's cars and other figurines, helped Elf on the Shelf Marissa, folded blankets, hung up jackets and sipped on some citrus water( PSA, water is good for you) and now I'm

Back in bed. 

So here's a Sorry to all the things that did not get done today, for once I'm ok with putting off things that can be done tomorrow( which is today). Lol

Thanks to my daughter for stepping up and keeping the house in tact, it wasn't burned down while I slept, so she won! And thanks to my Foreverfriend who reminded me when I'm tired I must rest.. It's now 3:34am and I feel my eyes getting heavy once again. I can probably get in another 3 good hours.. 

TaTa World, Again!

Signed, 

I'm Better
