Gems
Good Morning,
Hope everyone is feeling well and had a good week. It's Friday and all the plants got a little water last night. Just wanted to end the week with a few great quotes. I have always loved quotes since i was a child, they always seemed like such little "gems" of sparkling clarity, as if they were carefully written and slaved over and not simply "spoken". I still enjoy them immensely and thought i would share a few "jewels" with everyone here on weeks end.
Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Love this quote - He who seeks rest finds boredom....He who seeks work finds rest. - unknown
Is so true for me. I know that when I have worked hard, rest will come. For me it is in the allowing the rest to come. Accepting that I must rest is critical. For so many years I questioned the need, and would often find myself collapsed in fatigue. These days, my meditation practice and prayer time, allows for the notion of respite to come more meaningfully inot my life. I feel and experience rest in such a new way. It is now a place of healing, rejuvenation, inspiration for my life. I no longer feel like I am wasting time resting. It has found it's place in my life in an organic way. And most importanly I have let go of fighting it. So much more peaceful!!
