Life can be hard work.
Isn’t it the truth?
Every day brings so many choices.
So many challenges.
You don’t know at the start of each new day how (or whether) you will get to the other end.
Sometimes all that stress can really start to pile up.
You can feel so much pressure to put on your game face. To perform. To persevere.
After awhile, it can be all too easy to forget why you are even doing any of it, anyway.
This is the exact moment when you want to do the thing everyone else is not doing.
Rest.
When you stop rushing, the world stops whirling.
When you rest, it rests with you.
You can both stop perspiring, stop panting, settle down, seek peace.
Slow and steady, as they say.
But sometimes, stop and steady is even better.
