LEISURE
“It is seldom that an American retires from business to enjoy his fortune in comfort . . . He works because he has always worked, and knows no other way.”
— Thomas Nichols
For years I rushed around being busy and I missed me. I spent years trying to please people by doing things and I missed me. I was a workaholic, my value was seen only in what I could achieve and I missed me.
Today I can relax in my sobriety; indeed sobriety has enabled me to relax. I can sit and do nothing and it is okay. Life is about “being” and not “doing”. Spirituality is about taking time out for me because I am worth it. “Be still and know that I am God,”said the psalmist. In the silence of self I have discovered the meaning of life and I have found God.
Thank You, Lord, for creating the feelings of peace that come from leisure.
