I took a day to rest today

Though I had things to do

Those things I guess will have to wait

For rest’s not waste it’s true.

We must care for ourselves or else

All else becomes too much

And so I didn’t waste the day

Rested and read and such.

Our world is busy, always on

That’s not how this day went

But there’s an expectation that

All time must be well spent.

Now I with time have realized

That time I spend on me

Is then returned with interest

I can more useful be.

So rest or read or nap or game

Whatever helps you heal

Whatever gets you through the things

With which each day you deal.

I didn’t do a thing today

And that was my best choice

Now I need to find a way to 

Convince my inner voice.

Cheers,
