It's okay to relax, it's okay to relax, it's okay to relax!

Its been one awesome week of relaxation and recovery for me, not much has eluded me in the network scene, at least not of crucial importance. But I came to realise that until we take some time off from the hustle and bustle of modern day toiling, we never really know how much our bodies need to rest. From so much tension and piled up stress to overcrowding monotony, its just crazy!

We human beings are living in utter craziness, I have no idea how we are making it through a whole year like this, no wonder our life span is decreasing ever so often. It's okay to relax ( I need a tape to play this to ME over and over and over, it doesn't come naturally), to take time off from the craziness of life and just not do anything, it won't kill you. The insecurities that have been enforced in us, make us very fidgety people to be around or talk to, that's why we all (majorly) loath Mondays, coz we've not rested or relaxed and here we are again getting into another week of work.

There are people who think or feel or are in places that if they take a break from work or whatever responsibilities (that are work related, you are not allowed to shun your parental or husbandry or wifely responsibilities coz you feel tired, NO), they'll loose their jobs, and its really bad to work in a place where your rights are being walked all over, find wisdom to deal with that situation.

Yesterday was Father's Day (happy father's day to all you father's out there), and our pastor gave a very wholesome sermon that really touched my heart and my hubby's as well. The demands that fall upon a husband/father's shoulders are quite plenty and it just got me thinking, about what I can improve on or do better as a wife so that my husband is able to focus on leading and providing for our home. Apparently there is plenty that I can do, which is a major privilege, but at times we women feel like our rights are being infringed. Well to some extend I understand some women's points of view (me who has only been married 3 months), not their situations of course, coz we all have different situations. But at the end of it all there are basic things we can all do to make our husbands feel more bold in leading and providing for us, year in year out.

I believe to all starting out in marriage there are profound wisdoms that when you come across, you hold on to them for dear life, and start practising them until by the time your heading into years of marriage they are habits. So many couples say, 'we wish we knew that when we were getting married, it would have made such a huge difference'. Well for those not yet married or just married take that (whatever that is, they wish they had known, in wisdom ofcourse) and RUN with it.

Okay, am loosing track here, guess what am trying so 'clearly' is, JUST RELAX, with your friends, family, loved one or just you or even with God, take time off your busy schedule and relax. Maybe the next blog should be about the meaning of relaxing, we get this one wrong too. But take a deep breath and relax, it makes a whole lot of difference!
