Who isn't frustrated these days? We are all working two to three times as hard for half the money. There are so many challenges life feels like we're swimming up a never ending salmon ladder.
My G-mail account went bizarre two months ago and I spent at least 3 Saturdays and countless evenings trying different things to fix it. Nothing made the slow creeping loads change. Nothing stopped it from locking up. I was at the end of my rope.
This was only one of many indicators in my life that things just aren't cooperating. I had a second migraine in a month's time and my physical body was feeling beaten up- sore all over, an indication of a fibromyalga flare up.
The Universe in all its Wisdom delivered a book that I have only begun to read. "Happier Than God" showed up as a bonus gift- not ordered by me- how cool is that?
I have only gotten through about the third chapter but this advice was the author's advice. Recovering from the migraine and still feeling shaky on my pins I took Friday off! This is not a normal or even infrequent thing for me to do.
Yep...went out on my honey's boat and just RELAXED. I even went over the boat's side to help push off of some coral when we got hung up. The salt water was warm at Ponce Inlet and we played and swam along disappearing island. The day was glorious and we even beat the thunderstorms back to the house at day's end.
(I did check my Droid a few times and kept the troops working, but for the most part, I was enjoying the sun and the day and my company.)
Today, my aches and pains are only about 5% of what they had been (feel more like normal muscle strain than fibro-symptoms). I just logged in to G-Mail and it is operating NORMALLY. Is this a miracle or what? LOL My migraine fog is lifted and I actually feel better physically than I have in months.
We spend so much time resisting the world and life. Swimming that upstream against the current ritual, day after day battle that life becomes just that...a battle instead of a life. This book has been a great reminder to me and hopefully this blog will remind you to take a break, take a rest....stop resisting and do nothing. Give yourself some time to recover and heal up.
This AHA moment just came through to me and this is probably the best place to stop....
Even God rested on the 7th day.....who are we, mere mortals, to think we don't need to rest regularly?
(Try it...rest and see what log jams in your life open up:) )
