Today I am grateful for the weekend of respite I just had. Yes, it was kind of a forced respite because I was sick but it was respite nonetheless. The word respite is defined as a temporary delay and/or an interval of rest or relief. And this weekend I truly laid as low as I could, I delayed myself from doing too much, and I feel so much better. To lay low and do basically nothing is not really in my "make-up" but I didn't find it at all hard this weekend, in fact I rather liked it.
