Day 734 – A Day of Rest

Today we took our day of rest. It was so wonderful! It was also REALLY hard!!! I’m very much a workaholic, ahem, “passionate about my work” type of person. I can work a 12 hour day editing images from a wedding and still be up for more! So, as I approach working full time as a photographer, I’m seeing that taking a day of full and complete rest is going to be VERY necessary! And also something that will take discipline. Funny thought, huh? You have to discipline yourself to rest. If you don’t believe me…try it, just one day, no work (obviously, make this a day you’re not scheduled to work!)…it’s harder than you think! Then again…maybe it’s just me…

What did we do today you ask? Well…first, we slept until 11:30! Solid! Don’t forget that we saw the midnight showing of Harry Potter last night! We got home around 2:30 and maybe asleep by 3….so, it’s not so bad… then we started playing Lego Star Wars. We are seriously addicted to this game. It may be a problem. Then we grabbed lunch with my brother at Jason’s Deli and did a little shopping with him. Bret then went to hang out with my brother at my parents’ house and I stayed home. I started a puzzle, watched movies and just flat out relaxed. It was glorious. I didn’t even turn on my computer! I did check my Facebook a few times….and my business email just once!

Here is the mostly completed puzzle with the controllers for the game! Great day!
