slow time

My "cold" turned out to be strep throat - so my carefully laid plans for this week have had to change - especially as I now fully expect it to commute around the house.

However this change of fortune meant that I actually rested yesterday. I ran some errands in the morning but then was pretty tired so I sat down and stayed pretty much in the same place for several hours.

I went to bed still feeling grotty but also grateful of the reminder that it is OK just to stop sometimes when we need to. In Advent we are called to slow down, if not stop completely - but that can be hard to justify at a busy time of year.
