Tami's Day Off

The Academy is launched, the Wednesday Classes are up and running, we've established a good daily routine at home to get the schooling done - now it's time for me to take a day off! I've been working overtime to get everything in motion, so it will hopefully save me time and effort throughout the year. It's tempting to not take this time away - it's never convenient- but I'm determined to make it a priority to use these times to prevent burn-out and to be proactive in dealing with stress.

So tomorrow will find me first at the gym, then sitting in a coffee shop reading, and later, walking on the beach or in the mountains - soaking up silence and sun.

"All the troubles of life come upon us because we refuse to sit quietly for a while each day in our rooms." ~Pascal, Blaise


"In the rush and noise of life, as you have intervals, step home within yourselves and be still. Wait upon God, and feel His good presence; this will carry you evenly through your day's business." ~Penn, William
