“Resting” is not Required to Recharge
The way time does pass by, I know I’ll get my wish soon enough. I just have to remember to look up every so often so I don’t miss it. It’s easy enough to forget to take a breather when my focus is largely on what needs to be accomplished to reach my goals for the future. I’ve been so busy lately with work, with writing, with my family and all the busyness that family life brings and very recently, I’ve started a new project which will offer a great opportunity for me in my profession as an investigator. So much to do with seemingly so little time but yet, there are those days when I have to remind myself that not everythinghas to be accomplished today; there is, arguably, always tomorrow should I decide to just rest today.
Even though I may not completely relax in order to regroup, refocus and recharge, I do find a way to accomplish those tasks in my own way. Writing is one way I relax. So is gardening. I love to read a good book. Or spend time with my family. My dogs are a great distraction and I look forward to the summer months when I can watch them play in the creek. I am hopelessly into scrapbooking for the sake of keeping organized books for all my memories. I enjoy road trips. I also really enjoy taking photographs. I keep my camera with me every day just in case a photo opportunity comes my way. You can see things so much differently through a lens and it helps to take note of the details around you.
Of course, the trick is remembering when to work and when to relax…but I’m working on it!
