Day 68

Day 68 of The Red Shoe Project has been set aside as a Day of REST.  No RED shoes today as I putter around the house, doing nothing!  LOL. That's pretty funny because I find it almost impossible to do just that... nothing.  Have you ever tried it?  What's the secret to success for that?  You wouldn't think it would be so difficult.

Have you ever noticed that when your "day off" finally rolls around, there's still plenty to do... just not at the office?  Clean the house.  Do the laundry.  Shop for groceries.  Give the dog a bath.  Pick up the dry cleaning.  (Deep sigh!)  It's an endless list.

I confess, I didn't quite get it right today.  I did give the dog a bath.  I did several loads of laundry.  I mopped the floor.  I cooked.  And I puttered around a lot in between those things.

But, even still, I keep hearing His voice whisper to me, "Don't do anything!  Just rest."

There have been times that I thought plopping down in from of the television would bring rest... but that's not the kind of rest I'm looking for today.  TV wont replenish my soul.

So I've listened to some soft music.
I've prayed with a friend.
And now I'm off to bed early to curl up with The Good Book.

Tomorrow will be here, soon enough, and the RED shoes will be back on!
