growth not perfection
Well once again last. Got was one of those nights where my body took over and said. "Ok that's enough now." As I was trying to write my blog.
In fact I got no words written.
I woke up at 2:24 and tied to try again the weary and tired were so real. So instead I crawled under my covers that I had fallen asleep on top of and went to sleep.
The environment that I work in is not really conducive to good health. Once again I have the flu.
With the symptoms of this flu, if I didn't know like all of the rest of the staff was sick. I would be sure that I was having a mono relapse. I went to a movie last night and found myself STRUGGLING to stay awake at like 7 pm.
What I am saying though is, is ok to listen to your body. Sometimes you just need to collapse and crawl under the covers. This is not something I do well or easily.
I tend to heap my plate full until I cannot fill it anymore and try to push and push. But every so often, I cannot push anymore and rest takes over.
I am learning how to not see that as failures
I am learning to prioritize it instead of being mad at it. I'm learning to listen to my overwhelmed body and soul and say enough is enough it's time for us to rest.
But sometimes, like last night my body gives me no choice.
So yes, I'm writing this late. It's happened before and it will happen again, but it's ok.
My goals are important to me but perfection is not the pathway that I am on.
I am on a pathway of growth, sanctification and mercy.
Somedays the growth is in the words, somedays the growth is in the lack of words that have given way to rest.
Either way, it's progress.
