Young women today try to be super human, pursuing careers outside the home, being homemakers, satisfying wives, laundresses, cooks, moms, etc. When these exhausted women ask how to fit all of their responsibilities into the 24-hour days they are allowed, I suggest they pencil in 15 minutes a day to sit and stare out a window, or breathe fresh air, allow this specific period of time to "indulge ones' self." It's not a time for updating their to-do lists, problem-solving, or dealing with other challenges. It's time in which to do nothing. Reserving this quiet time in a specific place, like the hammock, embellishes my advice. Very therapeutic. Good for one's soul and her mental health. And it's also a boon to those nearby.

The three were relaxed and enjoying each other's company. Hammocks can be special places as you say.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-55604519035711040692018-08-07T08:28:33.221-05:002018-08-07T08:28:33.221-05:00Hi, Matt.

I love listening to the birds sing and hearing the wind swoosh through the pine trees overhead.

I think it's especially important for writers to "come ye apart and rest for a while," there is always some task that needs doing, guest blogs, other social media opportunities, corresponding with editors and if God blesses, some day, corresponding with readers. We need to take care of ourselves so we can bless others through our writing.<br />Kathy Bailey<br />Contracted Pelican authorkaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473317230010542909noreply@blogger.com
