  • Time to Rest

    Embarking on a time of rest.  Gonna spend time sitting by the ocean, soaking in the sun, watching kids run around, holding hands with the chief, and if I'm lucky...reading a good book. 

    If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it. - Herodotus

    Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop. - Ovid

    This art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of energy in our great men. - Captain J.A. Hadfield

    He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate. - Henry David Thoreau

    Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. - Matthew 11:28-29
