I quoted this from Roxanne Henke's book On a Someday back on Sunday. I've brought it to mind all this week, and it's made a world of difference in how I've dealt with my days. I'm less stressed, more generous with myself, and not so prone to being self-critical. Figured it was worth repeating. Now must go eat my Halloween M&Ms quietly so as to enjoy them fully.
"About that first verse I read," he went on. "It talks about renewing our spirits. This is something God does for us, and that we need to be mindful to do for ourselves. Remember, even Jesus took time away from his ministry to refresh and renew. When the everydayness of life gets to be too much, instead of letting it get you down, don't forget it's okay---even necessary---to take some time to recharge." (the pastor in the story referring to 2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
