Some of us, it seems, have to learn the importance of rest and relaxation the hard way. We push ourselves to the limit, often to the point of illness or injury. Before we allow ourselves to stop.
We can avoid this vicious circle if we realize our limitations. One of those limitations is found in the law of "Supply and Demand." We cannot meet demands if we have depleted our resources. Just as a fire cannot burn without fuel, so our bodies and minds cannot function without food and rest.
Today – before I drive myself to the point of complete exhaustion, I will set aside as much time as I need to fill my depleted energies. I will get more rest, participate in an enjoyable activity, or have an inspiring conversation with a friend to renew my strength and courage.

I got up very late today. Definitely I don't have a problem with this one and I like it very much :)
So true Mel -
and advice I needed to be reminded of.
PS> So nice that you were visiting my page just about the time I was visiting yours today. It's kinda like we had a cup of virtual coffee together, huh?
