Brakes

Did anyone miss me?  Sorry, I had a rendezvous with a hot young doctor at the hospital......well, maybe it was just the meds or not, but he was awfully cute!  Enough about me! how are all of you?

We are living in the "hot country" this week, summer has hit Alabama with its usual sticky sweetness.  Temps are in the mid-nineties, and the air is so humid........you know that is my theory about why there are so many writers and musicians from the deep south......the humidity.....it does something to the brain.  It triggers some sort of release of creative juices in the brain,  something akin to brain sweat maybe.

Blackie Bear and I have spent the day languidly (don't you love that word?) resting in the cooling dry breeze of the air conditioner.  We both have spent quite a bit of time panting......not a pretty sight.

Rest, is good.  Sometimes you never know how much you need it until it is forced :)
There are times when the body demands that you stop, and maybe you think that slowing down is all you needed.......but then surprise.....slowing down is not the answer, a full stop is required.  I came to a full stop this week.....at least for a few days.  I thought that I would hate it, but rest has been incredible, I never realized
how close to empty I was.  There are probably many of you who are in dire need of stopping also......it is ok to put the brakes on......that's what they are there for.   I highly recommend using yours if they haven't been used in a while.......

Goodnight, Sweet dreams
