I have driven myself into the ground lol

I have been sick for about a week with Flu like symptoms. I have a good idea of what caused it. Probably a result of lack of sleep, being on the go constantly and trying to make sure everybody else is happy lol. I need to learn to say NO more often.

I am not complaining at all just facing the cold hard facts of life and living a healthy life. We all need to set priorities and make sure we take care of our health and those that we love. We all need to make sure we dont get caught up in the day to day craziness and that we pause and enjoy our lives and cherish each day!  :-)   

Here is something I found online @suite101.com that is kind of simple but I believe could be helpful. 

The Need to Rest, Sleep, and Relax

Essentially, rest is the curtailment of energy expenditures that allows the body to redirect energies to restoration. Sometimes even a night’s sleep may be inadequate, probably due to a particularly stressful day, an emotional crisis in life, or a strenuous physical activity. When you become drowsy, you certainly need rest. A nap, even for five or ten minutes, will help you revitalize.

Human Body Limitations

Body limitations should never be taken for granted. How often we neglect to respect and appreciate the fundamental law of life – that bodies have a finite supply of energies. These are the same energies that allow the senses for use - to work, to breathe fresh air, to eat, to exercise, to make love, to laugh and play, and to smell the aroma of good coffee. Each body part has a limited amount of functioning power that can be reduced or increased at any time.

Brian - me too! I've driven myself into the ground these past couple of weeks. Working too many hours, traveling too much for work. Taking cough syrup with codeine and caffiene pills so I function without coughing.

I'm sleeping all freaking weekend! You too I hope. :)
