To Rest Or Not To Rest!

Well Fall Break is over and I'm sure most teachers spent most of the break watching it rain as I did. Not the greatest way to spend your vacation. I know with me this type of weather during the Fall season tends to get me down (the sunshine today was awesome). I didn't get a whole lot accomplished except resting. That in itself is something to be thankful for. In this day and time, life can become so hectic (even on the Cumberland Plateau) that we seem to seldom rest like we need to. Taking the kids to all their destinations mixed with work, church, and family responsibilities can eat up our time. Then figure in email, facebook, blogging, etc. We usually end up borrowing time on the next day to make up for using our "rest" time the day before. That's the way it is with me. We have to work and take care of our families and we need spiritual guidance. However, I know I would be less stressed if I took time to rest and let some of the things that don't matter like email and facebook wait till another time (don't go ballistic on me fellow facebookers)! So, I'm trying to do that as well. With that said, I'm calling it quits for today and going to work on resting for tomorrow!
