“Instead of asking, “Have I worked hard enough to deserve rest?”, I’ve started asking, “Have I rested enough to do my most loving, meaningful work?”” - Nicola Jane Hobbs
Hello friends! I’m thinking a lot about rest because I overdid it in every way for a week and I am feeling the effects in my body. As I said on Sunday, even overdoing it for “good” reasons (migration!) is overdoing it. My body is more sensitive to this than it once was, or maybe I’m just more aware of it. Maybe both. Either way, I need to listen to my body better and not override it with my ideas about “not missing out”.
Here are some moments of beauty for today:
Wishing you restful days, storm-less skies, and loving connections.

Love that phrase that one mans weed is another creatures treasure, how true. Beautiful photos!
These photos were over the top. Have been struggling with chronic laryngitis for weeks now, waiting to see a specialist. And they say rest . . .
