Sometimes we deprive oursevles of the little pleasures in life. Sometimes I know I stress over the major things and get so caught up in life that I do not allow for life's simplest pleasures. The easy things. Our attitude is go hard, work hard, then vacation. This leaves us stressed, broke, and tired. Our vacations are taken so infrequently that they end up becoming lavish, fit as many activities in as you can, stressfull events. We often are left depleted when we come back, almost needing a vacation from our vacation. We leave so little time between our vacation and our return to work, determined to fill in the time with as many things as possible that we begin our next work week tired and continue down this path...looking forward to our next vacation. The answer is so simple. Take the vacations you need, have fun, live well. But take part in little pleasures too. Instead of spending your day off at the mall, spend it reading your favorite book and drinking your favorite warm drink in your favorite mug. Not only will you save money, but you will be equally as pleased, and better rested. ..."be quick to listen....slow to speak....and slow to become angry..." James 1:19... is a powerful verse I refer to in my mind often. When you are tired and stressed, you will not be those things! Take a stand :)
Sometimes the simple things...are the best ;)
