In defense of resting.....if you dont do it, the universe does it for you....

Slinky, the queen of relaxing!

YAWN!!!! Oh, i had such a wonderful trip out west with some dear friends and my favorite rock and roll band! This coming off a very busy time in my life, where my hubby has been home for an extended period of time....and its a sheer joy to have him home, but i also extremely enjoy time by myself--i LOVE being alone in the solitude of my home, with my animals and my projects and my imagination--but lately its been constant contact with humans...so, this trip came at the perfect time...DUH! thats the way the universe works...

But...on the flight out, i was thinking, oh, i cant wait to have some time alone, and soak in the beautiful japanese soaking tub at the hotel...it will be divine! Though, i knew i was meeting a dear friend at the airport and going to a rock show that night, I figured i could steal a few minutes to recharge and do what i had been longing to do....soak!

So, when i got to the airport after a lovely flight, watching movies (If you havent flown Virgin America yet, its tons of fun--you get this cool video screen and can check your email and chat with other passengers and make your own wicked cool music playlist and order food right from your seat...its mad awesome! and Non-stop from NY to SFO!), i got my bag and called my buddy, only to find out she had missed her flight! She wouldnt be in for another 4 hours and our other friends would pick her up at the airport and deliver her to our hotel in time for the show...

so....BAM....the universe gave me 4 hours alone time....and then BAM...her husband checked to make sure i could check into the hotel and yes i could...and BAM, i wouldnt have to come back to the airport to pick her up....so, i got my time alone--to soak...

now, i could have felt guilty about it--that she had to miss a flight and spend extra time in the airport...but frankly--that was her path-her vibration, her life--and my path, my vibration, and my life intersects with hers, but not on every level....when she finally showed up, she had had a nice time visiting with some folks also stranded and was laughing and giggling...so it wasnt sooo bad....

Well, the whold trip was amazing...we had a BLAST in cali and las vegas...got home late on monday and had to take care of hubby after a wisdom tooth out on early tuesday morning--and i was spent...and i thought--gosh, i dont wanna do anything but rest...i felt a bit bad about that cause i knew i had stuff i should be doing....but i went to bed early, in the hopes that i could get back on east coast time...

not to be--i got sick in the night--a bad cough and my time of the month all at the same time--so guess what???? on wednesday--i sat on my butt all day and rested! The universe--BAM gave me what i had been asking for--an excuse to rest...

ofcourse, i could have just rested--i dont need an excuse to rest--when you look at it from the broader perspective...everything gets done in the end and there is no pressure really for a do it NOW mentality in most cases...so, i juice fasted for two days--and now i am feeling much better...

And not only better--more enthusiastic to get the action journey started...Hubby is traveling this weekend--perfect time to get the place in order and get back into the swing of things---

So, the moral of this long assed ramble is this--if you need to rest--if you need time alone--take the time...you are worth it--and the universe will do what it can to help you! :)

You all wicked ROCK! :) alex
