Doing Nothing

10:07 AM

Every once in a while, I am thankful for the things that force me to take a break from all things I do. Every once in a while, I enjoy spending the entire day doing nothing but watching movies and playing computer games. The past two days have been like that, and today I’m getting back to my normal life. My poor sister Rose has been doing all the house work, because I was so tired after spending the night with my mom at the hospital, so today I will be doing all the kitchen so she can take a break.

It’s funny, most people talk about the vices and dangers of doing nothing, but I think that there is a lot to be said for taking some time out of your life to relax. Sometimes, especially during a hectic time in your life, taking a day to do nothing is the best medicine. With that said, I need to get back to my work and list of things to do today. See you tomorrow!

    That's so true! I think I needed allt hat rest I got when I was recovering from being sick! =:) It's nice to be able to take that time to do nothing sometimes, and something I think we need so we don't get too overloaded.

    I am glad your feeling better and more rested now! =:D

    Love and Hugs! Still praying for your mom's swift recovery!

    I'm praying for you as you go about your duties. When will your mom be able to leave the hospital?
