yet everything is
accomplished.”

I think God was trying to get
my attention
when I saw one black and
one white goose swimming my way.
Aren't they pretty?
These geese stayed right in front of me the
entire hour, as I was writing in my journal recently,
at the park!
at the park!
They played, bobbed for food, and even
took a little nap, all the while
I sat there enjoying the view.
They so reminded me that it really is okay to rest and
to just let yourself BE.
I also was reminded of this when I read my friend Jen's blog post here.

Is letting yourself rest and just BE ever
difficult for you?
We should take a tip from this

( find this quote stamp at inkadinkado)
I've been resting a lot this summer
because my
body and mind
have both needed it.
I hope you are giving yourself
permission to do the same if you find
yourself needing it too.
It really is okay.

Lee Ann,
I enjoyed reading your post!!!
Rest is essential for our mind, body, and spirit. So glad you are taking the time to do just that.
I also LOVE your photo of the flowers, I need to figure out how to do that.
Take care dear lady.

Hi Lee Ann; LOVE this! (and your pictures) :)
My life moves at such a fast pace sometimes that it seems to pass me by before I can really enjoy it, and most of the time I'm running at least ten minutes late! Ha! I know I need to slow down and enjoy every moment of some quiet time with God, with myself, friends, family, and anyone else that He has placed in my life, and realize the importance of this precious time He has given
me. :)
Blessings and love to you!

Lee Ann! What a beautiful treat,
this happy surprise.
Thanks for having my rest
over for tea:)
Peace washed over me
as I read your soothing words.
always and forever,
Jennifer
Hello lovely Lee Ann. I'm so glad to hear that you're resting and enjoying this beautiful summer. I've been doing that a bit myself. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! xo
Thanks so much for leaving such a lovely comment and I do hope you find some inspiration there. Your quotes are so special and some are really poignant to me because of all that is in my life.
Thank you,

Allowing ourselves rest and not feeling any guilt or pressure from it is definitely a gift. Rest on, my friend.
Much love,
