The Dowager Feline meows in agreement. She knows all too well the importance of finding a cozy spot and curling up to rest for a long while. She's learned that she needs to take time out from her busy schedule of harassing me for more food, pretending she's still a kitten and playing with her younger feline friend's toys, and watching the birds play outside when she is on the screened in veranda.
Remember to take time out. Take time to be in the moment. Take time to relax and refresh your soul. If you don't have a soul that is refreshed, if your spirit is in constant "go mode" you will get frazzled and your work, whether it is writing or painting or mothering or ... you get the picture... will suffer. You will suffer. And you will not give your best to your work or your projects.
And do this without guilt or angst. Who decided we had to be busy all the time? Who made that plan? I didn't. Our society tends to put a lot of pressure on us to go all the time, be connected all the time via the Internet and email. Do you realize how brain sucking this is? I do.
So does the Dowager Feline. That's why she's curled up in my office, sleeping comfortably and dreaming about mice and fields and fun.
