The dizziness was gone this morning and I gave myself permission to take a break and not feel pressured to go into work till later in the afternoon because I’d worked all weekend. Isn’t that funny, how we guilt ourselves for taking an hour or two to ‘chill’? I knew that it was what I needed when I stepped into my pool for the second time since we moved into the house and did a few laps. Yesterday my coworker said, “Go get on a float and lay in your pool, you’ll feel better.” So this morning I did just that…and she was right! 🙂
As I was lying there, I soaked in the warm sun and listened to the sweet sound of silence. Ahhhh….such bliss. Then ‘YIP, YIP, YIP!!!’ broke my reverie of blank thought when my back door neighbor’s three little Terriers (or some form of tiny yippie dog) went crazy! I tried to ignore it and then my mind began to wonder to what time it might be, what I needed to get done at the office, how I should get and and get going…. 🙁
I was outside for a total of 45 minutes…wahoo…
But even in the 30 minute silence of that 45 minute reprieve I was rejuvenated with the warm of God’s love. The moment was so peaceful and gentle, I couldn’t help but give praise and thanksgiving to God for opening the doors that led us to this house, and for taking care of us in the throws of the dark time we suffered in the past few months, and for the bringing me to this moment, this day of achieving a life long dream.
I will never cease praising you, my God. 🙂
Blessings
