It's The Weekend - You Have Permission To Rest!

It's so interesting to me, how people spend their weekends.  Some people cram in scores of activities, and projects, so much so; that they need a weekend to rest up from their weekend. 

Occasionally, I have a non-stop weekend, but; I really don't like them.  I get that sick feeling in my stomach on Sunday, when I've squandered my weekend; without giving myself time to recuperate from the previous week. 

Hey, I get it.  We are busy people, busy people get things done...yadda yadda yadda.  Don't get me wrong, it's great to have the feeling of accomplishment that comes with completing a project, organizing your closet; or finishing some other long-deferred task. 

However, it's important to be balanced and know when to stop and recharge.  Be busy doing the right things, and, understand that there is a time and place for everything.  Learn to say no, to yourself and others.  Do you have to run non-stop every weekend?  Can you carve out a weekend or two just for yourself?  Only you can answer that. 

I saw this gorgeous couch in the window at Restoration Hardware.  So now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to plop down on it with a good book.  Okay, maybe not that couch, but a tolerable facsimile thereof, and; you have my permission to do the same.  Now give yourself permission, and have a wonderful weekend!
