If you are like Rabbit, a red-blooded American with a work ethic and a Type-A personality, Rest is....well, uh, a four-letter word. People like Rabbit make people like me feel like SLUGS.
I think my problem, apart from being a laid-back, Type-B personality, is that I am far too easily distracted. My thoughts wander, first down this Rabbit trail, and then that one, till the next thing I know I don't even know what I set out to do.
Like now, for instance. I started out writing about Rest, but now I'm on to my meandering mind.
To get back on the topic, I find that Rest is highly underrated. (Is that an oxymoron?) Rest is underappreciated in this busy world that we live in. There are so many more important things to do.
There is soooo much that needs to be done. The relentless necessities of survival, ie the laundry, cooking, gardening, shopping. Then there is the job in order to facilitate the aforementioned. And of course we like to have a little fun.
But sometimes only Rest will do. Some days, like yesterday, I got up feeling lousy and went from the bed to the couch where I spent most of the day sleeping. And today I am only slightly more energetic. Today I am Resting to recover from Resting all day yesterday.
All the Rest of the chores...they can wait.

I completely agree with you!! I am a type A personality, so I never stop. Rest sounds so good right now!!! I am going to have to find that book for my Grandchildren.
Thanks for visiting, Patricia! Do find the book. It is sooooo cute! It's one of the Sweet Pickles books.
Love the meandering mind! Reminds me of myself. You worded it well--"those relentless necessities." They get me every time. Thanks for stopping by my blog!!
