It's Friday!
You made it!
Finally!
You worked hard.
Well done!
Pat yourself on the back.
Now it's time to play hard
Or to rest intentionally
To listen to what your body is crying out at you
and go for a walk
or sit with a cat
or read a book in a hot bath.
Maybe you need to pick up the phone and call a dear friend
or maybe you need to turn your phone off and sit on the front porch
listening to the neighbors
the birds
the silence.
You may unwind by venting to a spouse
or writing in a journal
or blogging an inspirational message to share on the internet.
Do you!
Because that's who you do best.
The work week is over.
Drop the demands that others have placed on you
and find out what your own heart is demanding.
Sit still
and listen to your heart beat
or go for a run
and change your heart beat.
Eat the ice cream and the cake
or just enjoy the salad.
Enjoy the sun.
Enjoy the sounds.
Enjoy the time.
Enjoy being you.
