We build it into our day--school and chores in the morning, and then in the afternoon "quiet time"--my son draws or reads, my daughter looks at books on the bed beside me, and I read for a few minutes, and then close my eyes. I tend to sleep about 10 minutes, and then I get up and feel wonderful, have a cup of tea, and the rest of the day feelsPollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403233175071026416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-49058665666046129152015-03-19T19:54:48.118-07:002015-03-19T19:54:48.118-07:00I had an aunt who would disappear even when compan...I had an aunt who would disappear even when company was present, to lay down on a little room just near the kitchen. She took a nap every day and never announced it and did not even excuse herself. Everyone knew it was a matter of course that she took a rest in the day. When she got up she was like a new person, in a happy mood and busy again.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-26780165184186851032015-03-19T19:05:09.620-07:002015-03-19T19:05:09.620-07:00Well, I must say that as soon as I read this post ...Well, I must say that as soon as I read this post I decided to make my tea and have a few crackers with butter on them and I sat in my chair and crocheted for a few, then started my dinner meal! I think the comments from the other ladies all reflect the same thing! We do not need to push ourselves into bad health and just being un-nerved by the late afternoon!

Just recently again have I been noticing that I need to rest and it's ok. SO thank you for your affirmation. And yes I totally think that in this role, rest is looked down upon. These pictures are stunningly beautiful.

If I have a day when I feel a little under the weather it makes me feel guilty to take it easy. The media always has stories of how much some people accomplish and it is easy to start comparing myself and feel like I am not doing enough in life. If people could find a better balance between busy and vintage ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00250717105720474303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-13082527014806966402015-03-19T06:41:18.205-07:002015-03-19T06:41:18.205-07:00I remember my grandmother staying with us and ever...I remember my grandmother staying with us and every day she would lay on the couch and rest for 1 hour, not to be disturbed.

Every afternoon she would go into her bedroom and lie down for an hour or so. Then she would get up, change her clothes, fix her face and then make dinner for my grandfather. <br />My mother never did this (she did read a lot) and I remember as a child being fascinated by her dressing for dinner every night for my grandfather! <br />I am Amy Techentinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694160158545747651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-4364336281870635522015-03-18T21:40:30.624-07:002015-03-18T21:40:30.624-07:00I do remember my grandmother resting a bit in the ...I do remember my grandmother resting a bit in the afternoon! She usually had some "handwork" to do, like hemming, but she was quiet and restful. She also read a lot, which was restful. I'm so glad you mentioned our grandmothers resting and not apologizing for it. I think we get the idea now that we have to be busy every minute of the day to feel we're using our time wisely.
