hit the pause button

Sometimes it's just necessary to take a break and rest - even if it's forced and unplanned, like getting sick in the middle of the week. That's definitely one way to get my attention - and make sure I don't start multitasking elsewhere. Even though thoughts of, "wait, well I'm behind now..." or "what will I do for..." still waft into my head, I think I'm learning that it's necessary to just concede and say, "Ok, I do need rest. Now, what does that look like?'

Trying to be thankful for these pause moments and to gain strength for the days to come.
