Days Off Are Nice

No kidding, eh?

There's something extra wonderful about knowing that I have a day when I can allow myself to be tired. Of course, I have things I want to get done, but on days off I'm granted the choice of whether to get those things done or to rest. It's a precious gift I can give myself: permission to be tired.

That's not to say there's not guilt involved or fear that I'm being lazy. I'm working on that. It's hard to ignore the desire to work on a project or get a few things done, especially when everyone around me seems to do it so easily. Perhaps someday I'll shake this tiredness thing. On a day like today I'd celebrate by doing some gardening.
