The sunshine

Oh my! I have missed the warmth of the sunshine.

This morning I am setting in some delightful sunshine and I plan to soak up as much as I can because we are entering into a full week of rain. So, I know, I better enjoy it now.

It is so soothing!

I have my coffee and I am sitting on the couch and it feels amazing.

Every sunny day we set up a space in front of our bedroom window for our old cat — she’ll be 19 years old in November. She lazes the day away in a sunbeam.

I was going to say she has earned her rest but I don’t think we have to earn our rest. Rest is important. It is a part of God’s plan and there is no earning it. Running on empty is not the way.

I don’t have to feel guilty for needing rest or wanting it. It is not only a part of the human experience — God Himself rested on the seventh day of Creation.

So, find a window in the sun, take time to rest, recalibrate, and rejuvenate. Pace yourself. Enjoy the present.

Blessings on your day!
