Everyone’s schedules are full - not overly full, but there’s always plenty to do, and somewhere to go. The kids are getting to the age where schoolwork requires more effort, activities take some time, and then there are the weekly therapies for Picasso, which take time plus drive time.
It’s funny how hard it is to actually *choose* to rest when life is so full of schedules and places we have to go, and things we have to do.
This week we have some super-easy (but healthy!) meals planned. We’ve pulled out puzzles, coloring books, reading books, toys, and have planned a few fun outings. Our schedule is what it is, for a lot of reasons. Since we can’t do much to changing the schedule, we need to work on teaching the necessity of rest.
Obviously, we can’t take a week each month to rest, but we’re glad for that this month! Instead, we can focus on taking some time each day to sit back and relax, to give our brains and our bodies some down time. And so far, we’re having a great time!
