It’s kind of funny how even though the top priorities are rest and healing, my schedule seems more jampacked than ever.
Of course, when you look at it more closely, it’s not surprising at all.
These days I’m routinely shooting for eight, nine, sometimes even ten hours of sleep. I can only think of maybe three times in the last few months when I got less than seven. This is a radical shift in my lifestyle which makes a big difference in the number of hours available for other things.
Then there’s the time spent scheduling, driving to, and being at appointments.
I’m doing pretty well at making time to eat well and even managing to move forward with key music ministry projects.
But there’s one important activity that has completely fallen by the wayside: daily walking.
It’s not easy to get myself out the door when I’ve been gone all day at appointments, or I’m feeling particularly tired. But I know that even five or ten minutes in the fresh air will make me feel better.
So, this week I plan to make a concerted effort to take little mini-walks every day. Picking these beautiful daffodils was a little reward that got me off to a great start. 😄
